Ultrasound membrane filtration systems

FIGURE 8.43 Schematics of ultrasound membrane filtration systems, (a) Ultrasound bath and (b) ultrasound bom. 

All the reported studies indicate that low frequency ultrasound can enhance the filtration process and improve membrane cleaning efficiency to some extent. However, reducing energy losses, increasing the efficiency of the ultrasound and system scale-up are challenges that need to be overcome before serious commercial application can be considered.
