Hybrid membrane systems for water purification: Technology, systems design and operation

English 
The term hybrid, or integrated, membrane processes refers to the integration of one or more membrane processes with or without conventional unit operations to increase performance, depending on the type of feed and product quality required. The main goal of these systems is to increase purity in the case of water and gas purification, and productivity and yield of the product in the case of fermentation processing. Pervaporation (PV)-based hybrid processes can be more economical than traditional separation processes for the removal of volatile organic compounds from industrial, municipal water, or groundwater contaminated with carcinogenic halogenated hydrocarbons instead of catalytic combustion.
