| General Information | In this laboratory,different membrane configurations being used for operating different reactors by membrane techbologies. In this laboratory, also whey concentration, water recovery and clean water production from whey by means of membrane processes are carried out. Besides, clean water is produced from seawater by processing the raw lake and ground waters, secondary and tertiary effluents |
