Pilot-Scale Device for Filter Cake Resuspension of Ceramic Membranes
The regeneration of membrane surfaces in micro- and ultrafiltration is a very important factor to use membrane filtration economical-efficient. The resuspension of particles strongly depends on the acting adhesion forces. This article describes a pilot-scale device, which is used for basal experiments that should lead to an indirect measurement of adhesion forces acting during the process of membrane surface regeneration. The aim is to optimize the existing regeneration process and to find new solutions for membrane regeneration.
