Abstract

This manuscript provides an overview of published scientific and trade literatures and a collection of useful reference information on all aspects of membrane science and technology, selected result of experiment applications, and more recent developments in pressure-driven flat sheet membrane (PDFSM) processes as new frontier and athermal separation unit operation in chemical engineering covering general description of the basic principles of membrane separation processes, benefits and drawbacks, and future trends of membrane developments. Meanwhile, experiment results of selected applications of membranes are removing and/or reducing bacteria, and recovering high protein and low fat from skim milk by microfiltration (MF) membrane (Fluoro polymer, 0.45 µm, Alfa Laval) as an alternative to replace heat sterilization, separating and/or concentrating protease enzyme by ultrafiltration (UF) membrane (Polysulphone, 20000 MWCO, DSS), separating target and valuable components in corn steeping water by using nanofiltration (NF) membrane (Thin Film Composite on Polyester, DSS), and separating and/or purifiing ions component in brackish water and sea water by reverse osmosis (RO) membrane (Thin film composite on Polypropylene, DSS).
