Why is forward osmosis a good enabling technology for unlocking productivity gains from more efficient industrial processes? Membrane filtration is a process where substances are physically retained on a filter surface with small pore sizes. In industrial processes membrane filtration is used to isolate, refine & concentrate product streams at various production stages: Extraction of […]

Why is forward osmosis a good enabling technology for resource recovery & recycling from industrial wastewater? Generally speaking, membrane filtration is a simple filtration process with physical retention of substances on a filter surface with small pore sizes. Extensively used for industrial wastewater treatment, membrane filtration is a separation process where unwanted substances (e.g. bacteria, […]
