Membranes for Municipal Water Supply explores new concepts relating to the increasing use of membranes across several industries, especially the municipal water industry that is assigned the task of providing clean drinking water. These membranes are used to rid the water of pathogens, color, taste and other impurities. They are also used in desalination processes which are common in hotter, drier countries. Topics covered include the use of membranes, their theoretical basis and practical applications. The book's author heads up one of the best-known water sciences departments in the world (Cranfield, UK) and has longstanding experience in this area.
