Application of Membrane Processes in Supply and Development of Sustainable Water and Energy in Country

Increased energy demand and lack of clean water as a result of urbanization, population growth, and climate change have become global challenges. Membrane technology can play a special role in water purification, desalination and supplying process water required by power plants. Membrane processes have certain advantages, including high quality water with easy maintenance, low chemical sludge effluent, selectivity and selective transfer of desired components, appropriate adaptability and applicability in integrated processes, low energy consumption, environmental friendliness and good controllability. Also, using this technology in batteries and fuel cells and select the right material and membrane structure, there will be the ability to produce clean, sustainable and efficient electrical energy. Sustainable energy is a type of energy that can be used indefinitely without affecting the environment and the depletion of the resource. In addition, the use of membrane processes in the production and the purification of biofuels and the separation and recovery of gaseous pollutants are other important issues studied in water and energy industry.
