ABSTRACT
The membrane filtration depends on the transmembrane pressure drops, membrane molecular weight cutoff, feed, and retentate flow rate, feed concentration to achieve an efficient treatment of industrial wastewater. The direct discharge of the untreated effluents has created severe environmental issues for both flora and fauna. To minimize the concentration level of toxicity of the pollutants from the freshwater bodies, treatment of the industrial effluents is a serious concern. To remove the contaminated materials from the deliming bath effluents, ultrafiltration using polymeric membrane materials has been used efficiently. This eco-friendly technology helps to reduce the chemical oxygen demand loading and the fatty substances from the tannery effluents toward the reutilization of produced water during the tanning processes. The effluents generated from the food and beverages industries such as dairy, vegetable and fruit processing, palm oil processing, meat, and fishery industry contain high toxic compounds that depend on the types of processing operations.
