Reverse osmosis: ultrafiltration membrane processes 1976

Conference · · Proc. Am. Power Conf.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5321003
Various processes for purifying boiler feedwater are considered, sometimes used alone, sometimes in series. Reverse osmosis is considered, in particular, usually involving modified, semipermeable cellulose acetate or other organic membranes in tubular, spiral wound or hollow fiber configuration depending on the application. The use of membranes for ultrafiltration is also considered, sometimes even followed by a carbon adsorption purifier, usually as a means of protecting the resin demineralizer from fouling. Several examples of purifying various waters by one or more of the above methods are discussed. (LTN)
