Fouling in membrane filtration affects performance, especially for dairy processors focusing on higher solids and efficiency.

In the new study, researchers performed a high-level analysis of membrane filtration systems to evaluate cost, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with desalination and ...

Industrial membrane filtration bioprocessing spans a wider range of applications than the pharmaceutical sector alone, with the same crossflow and pressure-driven separation principles underpinning ...

The antimicrobial triclosan is widely used in personal hygiene products, textiles and plastics, but when it enters the environment via wastewater, it poses a significant threat to aquatic organisms. A ...

A rural town faces yet another summer with taps running dry and reservoirs hitting historic lows. Crops fail, local businesses scale back, and families ration every drop. Clean water is a daily gamble ...

High-performing water filtration systems — necessary for reducing water scarcity — can also reduce cost and energy consumption, a new Northwestern Engineering-led analysis finds. In the new study, ...
