Membrane Filtration

  • Chapter
Advanced Physicochemical Treatment Processes

Part of the book series: Handbook of Environmental Engineering ((HEE,volume 4))

Abstract

With the rapid increase of demand in industries and daily life, water has become an increasingly valuable but scarcer resource for human being. Take Singapore as an example. Almost half of its water supply is being imported from Malaysia. The daily water consumption has risen eight times while the population has only grown three times since 1950 (1). This increase has led to a greater pressure on the use of limited raw water resources and the capacity of treatment plants. The potential shortfall between supply and consumption needs to be addressed if domestic and industrial customers are to continue enjoying uninterrupted supply
