9781118739082 English 1118739086 An integrated membrane system includes two or more membrane processes in the same industrial cycle, or combines a membrane process (e.g. microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, gas separation) with a conventional separation system. The advantages are improved product quality, plant compactness, reduced environmental impact, and energy savings. Integrated Membrane Systems and Processes provides many case studies to illustrate the applications in seawater desalination, wastewater treatment, and bioseparations in biotechnology and food industries. Also included are inorganic applications, for example, integration of membrane reactors with a fuel cell; membranes in the integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plant; and the coupling of a membrane reactor with a solar plant. Each chapter gives careful analysis of the technical aspects of, and reviews the advances and improvements in, choosing an integrated membrane system over conventional methodologies. Book jacket., The book examines the possibility of integrating different membrane unit operations (microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, electrodialysis and gas separation) in the same industrial cycle or in combination with conventional separation systems. It gives careful analysis of the technical aspects, and the possible fields of industrial development. The book reviews many original solutions in water desalination, agro-food productions and wastewater treatments, highlighting the advantages achievable in terms of product quality, compactness, rationalization and optimization of productive cycles, reduction of environmental impact and energy saving. Also included are examples of membrane reactors and their integration with a fuel cell; polymeric membranes in the integrated gasification combined cycle power plants; integrating a membrane reformer into a solar system; and potential application of membrane integrated systems in the fusion reactor fuel cycle. With detailed analysis and broad coverage, the book is divided into two sections: Bio-applications and Inorganic Applications.
