Research group of MF/UF/NF/RO membranes The application of microfiltration (MF), Ultrafiltration (UF), Nanofiltration (NF) and Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane technologies in petrochemical industries involves purification and recovery of products and mostly, treatment of water and wastewater to produce utility waters. In order to develop these technologies in Iran petrochemical industries, High Technology Research Group has established the “Membrane and membrane technology center”, which one of the its branch is MF/UF/NF/RO group. Development of suitable substructures will be able to promote future activities and researches of petrochemical industries.Overall goals and activitiesDevelopment of technical knowledge of membrane technologiesPreparation of membranes in industrial scaleInvestigation of application potential of membrane technology in gas, oil and petrochemical industriesResolving problem of membrane process units of gas, oil and petrochemical industriesPossibility of using membrane processes in recovery of petrochemical productsReducing energy consumption by replacing membrane process instead of usual high energy consuming processesPrioritiesDesign and fabrication of setup and pilot for testing laboratory prepared and industrial membranesAccessing to component formulation of reverse osmosis, nanofiltration and ultrafiltration membranes nd optimization of preparation conditionsTreatment of petrochemical industry wastewater using membrane processesLast Update : Aug 27, 2014 11:46
