Abstract
Nowadays, membrane technologies are becoming more frequently used for separation of wide varying mixtures result from a lot of industries and can compete successfully with traditional schemes. The aim of this paper was to analyse the use of ultrafiltration with polypropylene hollow fibre membrane in the chemical physical systems instead of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filtration. A process data collection was performed and integrated with a characterization of the process effluents in terms of treatability and reusability. In order to evaluate properly the wastewater loading, an analysis course was set. The samples have been gathered for two years; instantaneous samples were drawn from the influent and treated wastewater. Based on daily average values, a general average has obtained. The experimental data were statistically analysed and the average values of the investigated parameters. It was found that ultrafiltration is a good process solution before discharge of the effluent.
