What are Membrane Technologies?

DEFINITION:Peruses a semi permeable layer of membrane

to separate pollutants and microorganisms from a substance producing purer forms of the

substance

APPLICATION:Filtration, softening,

disinfection, organics removal and desalination in compact, automated,

modular units.

TECHNOLOGIES:• Microfiltration (MF)• Ultrafiltration (UF)• Nanofiltration (NF)

• Reverse Osmosis (RO)

BENEFITS:• Provides a physical

barrier between influent and effluent

• Can be used in low temperatures

• Energy efficient• Easily expanded
