my name is Nicolas island membrane bow
act and membrane specialist as well as
membrane and membrane bericht
application specialist interesting part
in alfa laval
membrane director it is that we have
developed a system where we have a very
low contra pressure on the permeate side
which means that we can operate with
very low transmembrane pressure and this
way we avoid the compaction of the
falling on the membrane and we decrease
the cleaning sequence on the module
which is very important for the
operation and the lifetime of the
membrane in the new generation what we
have changed it is the construction of
the module in order to avoid all the
ceilings between the plate and having a
more compact system so we will have a
high packing density we will have a very
tight system and we welding the membrane
directly on the spacer with laser and we
are welding all the plate together with
infrared and this is giving us a
complete membrane bioactive block who
can be removed in one operation so it is
really a big plus to do that and also
because we it's much more easy to
install because you install a whole
block in one time and we put them over
each other in a frame and we can also
dismount the frame in two part so it is
very big step we've taken tear in the
new module configuration we looked also
on the aeration part because one of the
biggest problem for membrane bioreactor
is the blocking of the writer so we were
looking to find a design for having a
non-blocking aerator and that's why we
developed as design I write in order to
avoid this blockage is a one-string tube
who cannot block have never blocked and
this will hinder and of course a lot of
unequal air distribution on the module
with this essay rate we can also have
some airflow variation without having
the risk to block there it which was not
the case before so we can have an air
variation between 50 and hundred percent
and which is giving us a lot of
flexibility in the operation
