Scientists of the Wrocław University of Technology, together with specialists of the Municipal Water and Sewerage Company in Wrocław, are working on a special technology for the Janówek Sewage Treatment Plant in Wrocław. Researchers are working on the use of membrane technology to manage the waste stream for utility purposes.

Scientists use pressure membrane processes – microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis. The membranes separate components of different size / molecular weight depending on the pore size. Depending on the needs, the use of membrane processes allows to purify, concentrate or fractionate a given raw material.

Membrane techniques have been used in wastewater and water treatment processes, mainly due to high efficiency and lack of need to use additional chemicals, low energy consumption and the possibility of continuous separation.
