VSEP Technology: how does it work?

Summary

The methods used in practice to increase the process efficiency of membrane separation of liquids as well as the most appropriate areas of their application are presented. Using the example of VSEP technology, theoretical estimates of the effect of hydrodynamic conditions on membrane separation processes are shown, where the membranes of a flat-plate module with open pressure channels are not hard-set fixed but subject to vibration in the form of sinusoidal rotary oscillations directed along the working surface. The main advantages of such processes are defined. The prospects for using VSEP technology in membrane separation processes are outlined. The importance of continuing the research trend and simulation of the hydrodynamic modes of liquid movement in pressure intermembrane channels is indicated.
