Introduction to the problems of pressure driven membrane processes including the historical overview of the development of their practical use; the membrane materials; the types of membrane modules in term of their applicability to the managed system and the working conditions of the processes; the methods for characterization of membranes; the theoretical aspects of the transport of components through the membranes; factors that affect the performance of pressure driven membrane processes; the theoretical description of membrane processes, in particular in terms of performance and long-term operation modelling; the various flux enhancement methods, which are used to reduce the flux decline of membrane modules and devices; the diafiltration; the design of the membrane unit for the application of reverse osmosis and nanofiltration; the selected industrial applications of microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis; the development of pressure driven membrane processes with regard to their use in hybrid systems or in integrated membrane technologies.

Learning outcomes
|
The course covers various aspects of membrane separation processes. Students are introduced to the basic principles and theoretical models describing pressure driven membrane processes. Students will be able to design membrane units for various technological applications and use specialist literature in the field.
Students are able to accurately identify the essence of individual operations, analyze and synthesize whole process systems in engineering terms, and are familiar with methods that enable effective transfer and interpretation of laboratory test results into industrial practice.
