Europe has been faced with unprecedented heatwaves and droughts triggered by climate change. This has affected surface and groundwater availability across regions, leading to water use restrictions and investment in water reuse infrastructure.Southern European countries such as Spain, Cyprus, Malta, and Greece have invested in desalination as an al...

The industrial gas separation technologies that are currently used for processing natural gas, such as cryogenic distillation, and pressure swing adsorption, often require a large amount of energy. Conversely, membrane technologies have attracted much interest in the gas separation industry as a cost-effective, robust, and energy saving alternative...

Most parts of Europe face recurring droughts as below-average rainfall combined with heatwaves exacerbate water stress. The latest revision of European Union wastewater directives has driven nations to invest in tertiary treatment of wastewater and proactively encouraged water reuse to meet agricultural and industrial water demand. This includes me...

Wastewater from various industries such as pulp and paper, agriculture, food and beverage (F&B), personal care, healthcare, metal and mining, manufacturing, power generation, oil and gas, and other industrial segments are categorized as industrial wastewater. Effluents from these industries vary based on physical, chemical, and biological character...

Water demand grows annually due to urbanization, industrial growth, and agricultural needs. Several factors, such as droughts, lack of adequate rainfall, and pollution, create water stress and significant challenges, driving water end users to explore sustainable water management solutions. Membrane treatment systems address different water-stress-...

The North American region has witnessed unprecedented weather disruptions that have caused dry spells, droughts, rising temperatures, and longer summer seasons, all of which have affected freshwater surface water sources. This has also put immense pressure on groundwater sources, which are being exploited. US states, especially the Pacific and Midw...

Water and wastewater treatment membranes broadly are of two types: polymeric and ceramic. A polymeric membrane, also known as an organic membrane, is primarily made of any one of these materials: polysulfone, polyethersulfone, polyvinylidene fluoride, polycarbonate, polyamide, polyethylene, or cellulose acetate. The membrane is semi-permeable a...

Climate change and the rapid pace of urbanization and industrialization have significantly increased water stress and affected the equitable availability of fresh water. This has led to the implementation of policies that favor water conservation and the embrace of solutions that enable the circular economy of water. Another aspect is the diversifi...
