Abstract
This study is financed as a 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 papent
application has been filed by VTT Energy which describes the incorporation of
ultrasonic field into planar and tubular membrane filters.
