Abstract
This study was financed as part of PAWUM and SUSTAINABLE
PAPER research programmes. The development of
ultrasonically assisted membrane filtration system was
addressed as a viable process for the treatment of waste
waters in pulp and paper industries. The experimental
results demonstrate the efficiency of using
ultrasonically assisted membrane separation technology,
particularly in producing higher permeate flux rates and
meeting the environmental discharge regulations. This
will lead to a more compact plant with significantly
reduced capital and operational energy costs. A patent
application has been filed by VTT Energy which describes
the incorporation of ultrasonic field into planar and
tubular membrane filters.
