Boosting Nanofiltration Performance: Combating Fouling
Keeping It Clean: Technology Fouling Mitigation in Nanofiltration Nanofiltration (NF) is a game-changer in water treatment and purification. This membrane technology can remove even the smallest contaminants like dissolved salts and organic molecules, making it ideal for applications ranging from desalination to pharmaceutical production. But like all filtration systems, NF membranes are susceptible to fouling – the build-up of unwanted substances on their surface that hinders their performance. Fouling is a major headache in NF operation. It reduces permeate flux (water flow through the membrane), increases operating costs due to higher energy requirements for cleaning, and eventually shortens the lifespan of the membrane. To keep your NF system running smoothly and efficiently, understanding and mitigating fouling is crucial. The Culprits...
