Advanced Treatment of Facultative Lagoon Effluent: Microfiltration and Nanofiltration for Water Reuse

Key Points

• This research evaluates the combined effectiveness of microfiltration and nanofiltration as a solution for treating wastewater.
• Assessed microfiltration as a pretreatment prior to nanofiltration.
• Processed secondary wastewater effluent from facultative lagoon systems.
• Evaluated the outcomes regarding water reuse and treatment efficiency.
• Nanofiltration improved the quality of the treated wastewater effluent.
• Combined treatment showed higher effectiveness in removing contaminants compared to individual treatments.
• Resulting effluent met standards for potential water reuse applications.
