Webinars

Building blocks: how can renewable energy reach its potential?
Announcing the latest Renewable Energy Focus interactive webinar, in association with the World Future Energy Summit - Abu Dhabi, 2011.
MBR Retrofit: Design Principles and Best Practice
Membrane bioreactors (MBR) with submerged membrane modules have set the standard for the next generation of biological wastewater treatment plants as they offer two main advantages; a significantly improved effluent quality and a substantially smaller footprint. Besides the huge application for municipal wastewater treatment, there is a growing and diverse industrial applications segment where MBR technology is being implemented.
What does the future hold for renewable energy in the Middle East?
We are pleased to announce a new webinar from Renewable Energy Focus in association with the World Future Energy Summit, which addresses the future for renewable energy in the Middle East.

Show preview: IFAT 2010 Show preview: IFAT 2010
IFAT has developed into one of the world's leading trade fairs for water, sewage, waste and raw materials management. Due to popular demand, IFAT is switching to a two year cycle, beginning with an exhibition on 13-17 September at the Munich Trade Fair Centre, Germany. Filtration +Separation canvassed some exhibitors to find out what will be on display.
Mechanical engineering: The role of filtration in the machinery manufacturing industry
The next in Ken Sutherland's series of articles, on the smaller end-use equipment application sectors, features the use of filtration equipment in the manufacture of machinery, including the production of transport equipment as well as equipment usage in the operation of transport systems. The sector is not actually small in volume terms, but is considered in this series of articles because of its use of only a relatively narrow range of equipment types.
Fine chemicals: Membrane technology in the fine chemicals industry
Anthony Bennett investigates the use of membrane technology in the fine chemicals industry – in the production of the chemicals themselves and also in the generation of process water and the treatment of effluent from chemical synthesis.
Ken Sutherland's 'What's new' series on filtration and separation
In his series of articles, Ken Sutherland covers new developments in a number of broad classes of filtration and separation.

Innovative Low Pressure Plasma Coatings for Gas and Liquid Filter Media
Innovative plasma processes allow the deposition of coatings with high levels of hydrophobicity and/or oleophobicity for use in gas filtration, or coatings with permanent hydrophilic effect for liquid filter media and battery separators. The use of low pressure plasma for surface modification of filter media becomes more widespread because it is a dry and clean technology. Filter media producers adopt plasma coating to improve the quality of their products. At the same time it helps these companies to save costs because of a lower consumption of energy and chemicals.
MBRs Don’t Have to Break the Bank
Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs) may have a reputation for being costly, but they don’t have to be. A survey of 137 MBRs on the US mainland shows that an MBR using flat plate technology is typically half to three-quarters the capital expenditure (CAPEX) of hollow fiber systems. There is some data that suggests MBR Systems are competitive with several other technologies, including oxidation ditches, SBRs, MBBRs, and BNR plants. There is insufficient data to say definitively that a flat plate system costs less, but the data suggests that it can be cost effective versus conventional systems treating to the same quality effluent.
Low Energy MBR Solutions
The City of Santa Paula, Calif. is home to the first large membrane bioreactor (MBR) installation in North America to use PURON™ membrane filtration modules. It is also the first water recycling facility built under a California government code to encourage private investment to solve public infrastructure needs Santa Paula’s outdated wastewater facility was in violation of several discharge requirements issued by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, and had received more than 3,000 violations and $8 million in fines.
Prediction of catalyst attrition in a regeneration cyclone
The effect of high inlet solid loading on collection efficiency, pressure drop and attrition of catalyst in a FCC regeneration cyclone has been studied by computational fluid dynamics. Sh. Tamjid, S.H. Hashemabadi and M. Shirvani report their findings.
Water treatment: PESU membranes show permeability advantages
Membrane filtration in water treatment has undergone significant development in recent years and the introduction of polyethersulphone as a membrane polymer isone of these. Dr Christian Maletzko of BASF explains the permeability advantages of this material.
