Caustic Recovery Using Membrane Filtration

Abstract Food and beverage processors that use dilute caustic solutions for cleaning process equipment have shown increased interest in recovering the used caustic. The primary reason is that the price of caustic has increased significantly in the past year or so. Membrane filtration technology can be used to remove suspended solids (clarify with microfiltration) and/or dissolved ...

Clarifiers-No, Filtration-Yes: A Case Study

Problem Twenty miles southeast of Coos Bay, Oregon situated at the conjunction of the North and South Forks of the Coquille River lays the town of Myrtle Point. Just five years ago this community of 2670 residents was facing a large potable water problem with an even larger price tag. The town feeds its water treatment plant from the North Fork Coquille River. Prior to the 1990s the water ...

Impact of Corrosion on Electronic Equipment

Corrosion is the destruction of metals through reaction with compounds in their environment. It is a natural process because compounds such as oxides, sulphides and chlorides are formed and these are stabler than pure metals. Electronic circuits and components are omnipresent in our environment. Until recently, the thousands of soldered joints that an electronic circuit contains were ...

POE sediment filtration — your first line of defense

Around the country, our aging water delivery infrastructure is coated with sediment and scale from a century or more of buildup. Those same tuberculated pipes are constantly challenged by daily tie-ins, repairs, flow tests and fire hydrant use in most cities and towns. The result is that drinking water that left the municipal treatment plant at top quality arrives in users’ glasses — or in their ...

Water filtration media: Talking about a revolution?

Developments in any field of endeavour are nearly always evolutionary, not revolutionary. It is normal to expect advances in manufacturing equipment, process control and chemical science to facilitate product improvements. In the field of liquid filtration there is frustration at the seemingly unbreakable linkage that exists between increasing pressure drop and lower flow rates as gains are made ...
