Technical and economic feasibility of membrane technology

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5315023
The potential application of reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and electrodialysis to the system of solids concentration in beet sugar process streams is being investigated. All available membranes potentially applicable to the process are being tested for application and durability under typical pH, heat, pressure and recycle conditions. Progress in achieving a possible reduction of energy requirements for evaporation by 15% to 20% is reported.
