Abstract
The ever increasing domestic and industrial water usage which expanded the pressure on water resources world wide and the trend towards more stringent environmental regulations has shifted the focus on water reuse and recycle, which requires innovative technologies that can generate high quality effluent at a minimum cost. Membrane based technologies are the obvious answer to this complex challenge due to their inherent nature, that they are capable to achieve high quality effluent; they are compact, flexible and reliable, the benefits that have always been recognised, and due to recent developments in membranes (types and performance) and membrane technologies which has overcome their major limitations (high energy consumption and frequent cleaning requirements).
