Abstract

The ceramic Nanofiltration membranes are studied in TU Delft to treat the brine. It has abilities to concentrate NOM and separate it from salts, and chemical precipitation to recover a clean solution with regeneration salt (i.e., NaCl) from the membrane permeate.For achieving this, the first step should build up the Setup. Therefore, this additional thesis aims to upscale a previous ceramic nanofiltration setup, which should run overnight without supervision. This thesis is divided into two parts: (1) design and building, and (2) experiment. The results show that although the recirculation pump limits the potential of the setup, it can still provide high recovery and stable permeability.
