Desalination developments

摘要

Senior desalination expert Dr Aleksandar Vlaski of Royal Haskoning, the Netherlands, says that one of the most important and promising developments on the technology front is the announced market entry of true nanocomposite membranes later this year.rn'Contrary to the current state of the art TFC (Thin Film Composite) membranes, where the membrane barrier is comprised of a very thin, aromatic polyamide coating over a more porous and thicker polysulfone layer, the new true composite membranes will incorporate porous, inorganic, hydrophilic nanoparticles within a polyamide membrane film,' he explains.
