This paper describes two potential applications for membrane filtration processes at the Savannah River Plant. Both require high concentration factors and equipment durability with a minimum of hands-on maintenance. The use of high pressure, dynamically formed membranes (Carre, Inc., Seneca, SC) would permit in-situ membrane replacement and is therefore favored to perform these separations. An overview of the proposed applications will be presented, along with some of the experimental results that have been obtained so far in testing ultrafiltration for the primary stage of an effluent decontamination system.
