Steady stale permeation

Alumina membranes with a pore diameter of 0.2 pm have been tested successfully for removing emulsified EDC [Lahiere and Goodboy, 1993]. The soluble EDC, however, is not affected by the membrane treatment and remains at the same level before and after the operation. Pilot test results show that the water recovery is about 94%. The steady stale permeate flux from the pilot test at 30-45 C is 1290 Lfhr-m which is about 4 to 6...
