Abstract
The overall goal of this program is to develop a system based on reverse-osmosis (RO) membranes that can treat oily water economically. This system will be based on the use of thin-film-composite (TFC) membranes that consist of a selective coating placed on a solvent-resistant hollow-fiber support. For this program, the authors plan to develop solvent-resistant hollow-fiber supports and coat them with a {open_quotes}loose-RO{close_quotes} coating. They developed the TTM coating used in this program in previous work for the treatment of oily waste waters. During this reporting period, work was focused on operating the demonstration test unit at a test site near Houston, Texas. During the next reporting period, the authors plan to continue long-term testing at the demonstration test site. The completion of the demonstration test, preparation of the final report, and technology transfer are the tasks remaining in this program.
