Abstract
The main idea of this project is to apply membrane processes, thanks to the their widely recognised advantages in terms of both reduced environmental impact and energy consumption, in order to perform a more sustainable water treatment methodology for seafood processing industry in Vietnam.
An innovative formulation based on polymerised bicontinous microemulsion (PBM) will be used a coating material for commercial ultrafiltration (UF) flat membranes. The novel composite membranes will be characterised to evaluate the stability of the coating, their antifouling properties (CNR-ITM) and their performance with real seafood processing wastewater streams using an AnMBR (VGU). The membranes will produce a good quality filtrate with a longer membrane life cycle in comparison to the traditional commercial ones generally applied.
