Introduction : This is the second edition of the Membrane Filtration Handbook. In an effort to improve the Handbook, it has been enlarged to include the description of pretreatment, automatic controls and pumps. This Handbook is the product of many years of experience in the field of membrane filtration, and it is intended to be a mixed bag of information. The Handbook’s goal is to provide information about many common problems and help answer questions that newcomers to membrane filtration often face. The book also provides information helpful to the engineer who designs and builds membrane equipment or works with existing plants. Students may also find the Handbook helpful in understanding basic membrane plant design and operation. The information is based on practical experience rather than theoretical calculations and speculations. Consequently, it is not a traditional textbook commonly found at technical universities. Although there are virtually no mathematical calculations in the Handbook, it will still prove useful to both industry and universities because it contains other pieces of information that are obvious to the “old hand” in membrane filtration but which, to the best of my knowledge, have never been presented in a printed format.
