Design of Membrane-Separation Systems

Recently, membrane processes have gained a growing level of applicability in industry. Membrane systems have several advantages. In addition to their high selectivity (which can provide concentrations as low as parts per billion), low energy consumption, and moderate cost, they are compact and modular. Therefore, membrane units can be readily added to existing plants. This chapter provides an overview of the use of membrane separation systems for environmental applications. First, pressure-driven membrane technologies will be categorized. Then, modeling and design techniques will be discussed for reverse osmosis as a representative membrane technology. Next, thermal membrane distillation will be described as an example of emerging membrane technologies.
