6. CONCLUSION
 Membrane technology encompasses the related
scientific and engineering approaches for the transport
or rejection of components, species, or substances
through or by the membranes

Membrane technology is used to explain the

mechanical separation processes for separating gas or
liquid streams.
INTRODUCTION

Because of its multidisciplinary character, membrane

technology is used in several industries, including
water treatment for domestic and industrial water
supply, chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological,
beverages, food, metallurgy, and other separation
processes

inorganic (ceramic) materials, which can bring about

Industrial Applications

soya sauce industries :

1. Membrane technology is playing an important role in improving the quality of soy sauce and
ensuring the biosafety of soy sauce.

2. Turbidity and count of aerobic microorganisms in the product of soy sauce could be significantly
reduced, while the nutrients could be retained, thus refined soy sauce with prolonged shelf life
and enriched flavor could be produced.

3. With nanofiltration (NF) membrane technology, low-salt soy sauce is produced with raw soy
sauce containing high NaCl concentration. Due to the high osmotic pressure induced by the
high concentration of NaCl in soy sauce, a three-step operation of dilution, concentration, and
diafiltration is found to be the suitable operation mode for low-salt soy sauce production.

 POLYMERIC MEMBRANE & MEMBRANE MODULE:

1. Membrane technology is becoming more advanced

due to environmental friendliness, economics, and
ease of use.

POLYMERIC 2. This is a leading technology for water purification

applications and will continue for many years.
MEMBRANE
3. Nowadays, industries and researchers are
developing new membrane technology in different
aspects. There are some future prospects of the
membrane technology.

 1. Membrane technology plays a key role in
downstream bioprocessing separation and
purification of several bioproducts.

MEMBRANE 2. In biorefinery approach, product recovery and

TECH IN purification are required, while the residual organic
by-product can be used for further steps of
DOWNSTREAM biorefinery concept.
PROCESSING
3. Therefore membrane technology are used in all
stages of downstream bioprocessing of bioproducts,
including sterile filtration, clarification, initial harvest,
and product purification, which have been involved
for a variety of applications in downstream
bioprocessing

 • Membrane technology has experienced steady and
progressive development for desalination and
wastewater treatment. Because of its advantages,
membrane technology has become an attractive
alternative to many conventionally used techniques.

• One of the most significant areas of progress in this

field is the design of membranes to heighten
Conclusion separation performance.

• The selection of a suitable membrane process and

optimization of membrane properties for the identified
application are crucial because they dictate the
efficiency of removal as well as the cost incurred
during the process.
