Membrane-based point-of-use water treatment (PoUWT) system in emergency situations: a review
journal contribution
posted on 2014-07-18, 14:36 authored by Norazanita Shamsuddin, Diganta DasDiganta Das, Victor StarovDuring emergency situations, effective and quick reactions are vital in order to supply safe and unpolluted drinking water within approved guidelines Point-of-use water
treatment (PoUWT) system, for instance, portable membrane-based water treatment
devices, could help affected people to survive while waiting for aids to arrive. In the context of portable membrane-based water purification devices, it is also found that
the most literature does not mention particle depositions and interactions, and
membrane fouling mechanisms that might occur in these devices. The latter is
especially important if the device is for private use for certain type of contaminant. It is found that the information available in the literature is mostly based on the
performance of devices in terms of the following: bacteria/viruses/particles removal,
cost efficiency including maintenance and repair, capacity and flow rate of permeate
and producing company. These are discussed briefly as well.
