• Membrane filtration, widely used in chemical and
  biotechnology processes, is already established
  as a valuable means of filtering and cleaning
  wastewater and industrial process water. More
  recently, tubular and spiral membrane plants have
  begun to be used to filter impurities from
  drinking water in regions where conventional
  treatment proves to be uneconomical.

• As advancements are made in membrane production
  and module design, capital and operating costs
  continue to decline. The membrane processes
  discussed here are microfiltration(MF),ultrafiltra
  tion(UF),nanofiltration(NF), and reverse osmosis
  (RO).

• The use of reverse osmosis is well-established
  for desalination of drinking water and the
  production of deionized water for process use.
  Ultrafiltration and microfiltration, which-unlike
  reverse osmosis and nanofiltration-utilize porous
  membranes, are now becoming increasingly common
  in water and wastewater treatments.

• Reverse osmosis can effectively remove nearly all
  inorganic contaminants from water. RO can also
  effectively remove radium, natural organic
  substances, pesticides, cysts, bacteria and
  viruses. RO is particularly effective when used
  in series with multiple units. Disinfection is
  also recommended to ensure the safety of water.
