The potential of microfiltration and ultrafiltration processes as a methods of ayays of water treatment plants

This bachelor´s thesis deals with the possibilities od using membrane filtration in water treatment process intensification. The introduction presents the formativ and development of these technologies, their progressive expansion and application. Then deals with specific properties and possibilities of using microfiltration and ultrafiltration membrane modules. Part of this work is the description of the materials used for making membranes, their advantages and disadvantages. Below are the possible approaches to setting and operation of filtration technology in drinking water supply for residents. Another important point of this thesis is the description of cleaning, maintenance and any repairs or expansion of membráně modules depending on the method of operation and the type of memebrane module. Another point mentioned in this study is the description of both methods of testing the integrity of membranes, direct and indirect. Testing of memebrane integrity is considered one of the most important advantages over alternative membrane filtration water treatment methods. The final part is devoted to recent findings from on going research a concrete example of the membrane device installed in the Czech Republic
