This book is part of a series on sustainability. Specifically, it
deals with the issue of sustainable water use. Fresh sources of
potable water are being depleted across the world. Pure water is
the goal of water utilities as well as several industries. Well
past the experimental stage, membrane processes are now a proven
and reliable method of providing high-quality, cost-effective
water. Membrane technologies have immediate applications to
treatment of fresh, brackish and sea waters, as well as wastewater
reclamation. With innovative module design and engineering, micro-
and ultra-filtrations have become effective and economical for
drinking water production, particularly for removal of
microorganisms. Membrane bioreactors are being developed for
municipal and industrial water recycling. Various membrane
processes are also used to remove contaminants from industrial
wastewaters.
This book covers the fundamental and practical concepts and issues
regarding the application of membrane technologies for sustainable
water treatment. It describes and compares the effectiveness of
desalination versus water recycling for long-term sustainable water
use.
- Describes the global water situation with respect to
sustainability - Emphasizes the role of membrane technologies -
Compares the strategies of water recycling and desalination
