The first webinar in the ceramic membrane series will start by providing a detailed review of the advantages of ceramics compared to polymerics followed by a review of materials and manufacturing methods. The properties of different materials will then be examined together with their pros and cons, and surface characteristics. The webinar goes on to look at modules and products and compares ceramic membrane system design with polymerics. Performance examples will be presented for surface waters and the fouling experience described for examples of oily feedwaters. The content can be summarized as follows: • Advantages of ceramics compared to polymeric • Ceramic material options and manufacturing methods • Properties, pros and cons of different materials, and surface characteristics • Modules and products, format and process choices
