It has taken 35 years to develop sufficiently good and inexpensive membranes to treat a variety of liquids, including waste water. However, there is still a long way to go before it is generally known how to engineer and operate membrane plants. Membrane filters are used in the dairy industry, the pulp and paper industry and for high purity water.

This 1-hour online course is the first of several courses on the subject of membrane filtration. The course covers an introduction to the subject, including membrane processes, products, materials and limitations. The course is based on a handbook prepared by one of the leading suppliers of membrane filtration equipment.
