About

About the course

Course content

The topic is lectured every second year, next time in the spring semester 2011.
Topics in the course are: - Chemical, physical and thermodynamic relations in manufacturing and characterization of membranes. - Analysis of transport and fouling mechanisms in membranes and membrane modules with special emphasis on membrane crossflow filtration. Design and operation of membrane separation plants. The course may, in agreement with the candidates be supplied with other membrane topics.

Learning outcome

Objective of course: To master designing of membrane plants on the basis of characteristic data for the liquid phase, the membranes and the modules.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, colloquies, self studies and individual report/article (will count 25 % of mark).

Required previous knowledge

Prerequisites: Knowledge of fundamentals in chemical engineering and membrane technology. A brief introductory course in selected topics will be offered students lacking this background.
