Water is Life
Water is undeniably the essence of life. From the towering trees that soak it in to the tiniest microbes that rely on it for survival, water plays a pivotal role in sustaining all forms of life on our planet.
As human populations continue to grow and industrialization advances, water quality becomes a pressing concern. In this pursuit, membrane filtration emerges as a critical tool — a process that uses semi-permeable membranes to remove impurities and ensure clean, safe water.
I have spent the last decade researching and applying membrane filtration processes — from membrane manufacture and module design to full-scale process implementation. On this page, I’d like to share some of my key experiences and achievements in this field.
