Membrane system: Water purification tech you need to know
According to DownToEarth around 163 million people in India don’t have access to clean water. That is 19% total of the world’s population that don’t have access to clean water. A simple answer to this would be water purification. If we implemented water purification techniques, we won't have this problem anymore. So, what are the water purification systems that we can implement? This blog provides information about membrane filtration and types of membrane filtrations. For more information continue reading. Membrane system A membrane is a semi-permeable material with thin layers that allows specific elements to pass through it while blocking others. This system is used for removing particulates, bacteria and micro-organisms. The membrane processes discussed in this blog are Ultrafiltration (UF), Nanofiltration (NF), Reverse Osmosis (RO), and microfiltration (MF). Let's look at each of these. Ultrafiltration (UF) Ultrafiltration is used to remove suspended solids, oil an...
