Membrane plasma separation and the on-line treatment of plasma by membranes

The selection of assessment procedures for the preclinical evaluation of haemosorbents and the relationship between such procedures and the intended application are exemplified by examination of the design and utilization of procedures based on the rat. Procedures are described for haemoperfusion and for membrane plasma separation followed by on-line sorbent treatment of plasma (plasma perfusion). These procedures are suitable for single or repeated use, with the animal in an unrestrained and conscious state. The relevance to the intended application is demonstrated with respect to artificial liver support by the ability of rat extracorporeal circuits to provide information on the relationship between sorbent properties and liver regeneration as determined by the proliferative response following partial hepatectomy.

Municipalities try to limit overflow of their sewer systems by various technologies such as storage in basins and transfer of the water after the storm to a treatment facility, storage and decantation, on-line treatment of overflows, or by alternative technologies like porous roadways or runoff infiltration. The swirl separator, proposed by the American Public Work Association, is an attractive device, because it requires little supervision and maintenance. However, only few results exist about its efficiency for treating combined sewer overflow. The purpose of the present field study was to determine the performance of an existing device (the Québec swirl regulator). The results, presented herein, show that up to 25% of the suspended solids transported during storms can be eliminated, but most of the liquid–solid separation seems to take place in the upstream collecting pipe. Key words: combined sewers, overflows, water treatment, suspended sediments.
