Researchers try different approaches within the nanotechnological field to improve water membrane technologies
Research teams are trying different approaches within the nanotechnological field to improve water membrane technologies. One of these is to improve water purification by using nature’s own water-transporting channels, aquaporins. However, constructing suitable membranes for industrial processes is a challengeMembranes for water purification are used in many applications and different types of membranes are being [...]
Membrane Solutions wins two membrane based projects in Saudi
The first is a fast-track irrigation water project in Riyadh for provision of 11,000 m³/d by combining groundwater and treated wastewater. The water is required to irrigate a vast expanse of landscaping and tree planting at the Princess Noura bint Abdul Rahman University for Women.
The project includes construction of a reverse-osmosis (RO) desalination plant [...]

Membrane Technology Could Make Desalination More Accessible
In the aftermath of earthquakes and tsunamis, one of the most desperate needs for survivors is often to have access to clean drinking water.
Desalination plants have long been essential to providing fresh water in places where natural supplies are lacking. Traditionally, two methods have been used to remove salt from water: thermal distillation, in which [...]

How is the performance of a filter measured?
Design and material selection determines the performance of a filter. Three important measures of filter performance are flow rate, throughput and bubblepoint, defined as follows:
Flow Rate: Determines the volume of liquid or air that will flow through the filter at a fixed pressure and temperature. This is usually displayed as ml/minute/cm2.
Throughput: Describes the dirt handling [...]
