Episode description
Peter Christou, founder and CEO of Swirltex, elaborates the following points:
· how buoyancy manipulation of solid contaminants is paired with a swirling flow pattern leads to over 100% flux increase of a tubular membrane.
· 50% of air mixed with water pumped through a tubular membrane where water spiraling around the membrane and air creates a surface tension around suspended solids to diminish concentration polarization and overcome building cake layer.
· value of coupling Swirltex with RO technology to solve water applications such as produced water in O&G.
