The Role of Membranes in Decentralized Wastewater Treatment

There are two types of membranes an onsite professional may run into: reverse osmosis and membrane bioreactors. Although the process is similar when treating water versus wastewater, the systems are very different. They both use a separation process to remove issues in the source, although the contaminant load is very different in water compared to wastewater treatment.What is reverse osmosis? Reverse osmosis is a separation process that uses pressure to force water through a membrane that retains the solute on one side and allows the pure solvent to pass to the other side. More specifically, it is the process of forcing
