Every day, an estimated 3,000 to 6,000 people worldwide die from diseases caused by contaminated water. Filtration can reduce the risks, but traditional bacterial and viral filters trap pathogens inside granular carbon or porous ceramic or polymer materials, many of which are difficult to clean and must be changed frequently.
Nanofiltration Systems
Nanofiltration is a relatively recent membrane filtration process used most often with low total dissolved solids water such as surface water and fresh groundwater, with the purpose of softening polyvalent cation removal and removal of disinfection by-product precursors such as natural organic matter and synthetic organic matter.
Technology advancement facilitates people to abridge their day-to-day activities such as a water filtration system for water purification, washing machine for washing clothes, refrigerator to keep food fresh and many more. Most of the people use advance appliances but, only a few of them are familiar about technology used in operating those appliances. Commercial NanoFilteration System is also a one of the popular system used for several applications including water purification .
Nanofiltration membranes reject ions that are divalent such as calcium, magnesium, and sulfate while allowing passage of monovalent ions such as sodium and chloride.
Since Nanofiltration membrane compositions are less tightly meshed than reverse osmosis membranes, the permeate flow is higher and the pump pressure is lower, thus saving energy.
Nanofiltration is ideal for water softening because it removes calcium and magnesium from hard water. Hardness removal can range from 50% to 97% depending on the membrane selected.
