The chapter focuses on enhancing the permeate flux of helical shaped membrane using group method of data handling (GMDH) algorithm. The variables such as operating pressure, pore size, and feed velocity were selected as input parameters, and permeate flux as model output. The uncertainty analysis evaluates the acceptability of the model, and it was found that values of Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), the ratio of the root mean squared error to the standard deviation (RSR), percent bias (PBIAS) were close to the best value which shows the model acceptability. The effect of input parameters on model output is calibrated using sensitivity analysis. It shows that pore size is the most sensitive parameter followed by feed velocity. The optimum values of pore size, operating pressure, and feed velocity were calibrated and found to be 2.21µm, 1.31×10-03KPa, and 0.37m/sec, respectively. The errors in GMDH model were compared with multi linear regression (MLR) model. It shows that GMDH predicts results with minimum error. The predicted variable follows the actual variables with good accuracy.

The chapter focuses on the implementation of Box Behnken Design (BBD) to increase permeate flux of rectangular sheet membrane. Box Behnken Design (BBD) was used to optimize the membrane operation by predicting the optimum conditions. The factors such as operating pressure, feed velocity, and pore size were selected as the input of the model. The study illustrates the optimum conditions of operating pressure, feed velocity, and pore size, which was found to be 14.5Pa, 0.179 m/s, and 0.59µm respectively. Analysis of variance was used to identify the significant terms in the model equation. The effect of input parameters on the model output evaluated using Pareto analysis. It shows that operating pressure is the most significant parameter in the developed model. The BBD predicted results follow the actual results with high accuracy.

The paper investigates increasing permeate flux (%) of the disc membrane which can improve the quality of rubber industrial effluent of Tripura. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the independent influencing parameters to improve the permeate flux. The effect of different influencing parameters like operating pressure, membrane pore size, and inlet feed velocity on membrane permeate flux were studied to determine the optimum operating conditions within the predefined boundary. The experiments were pre-planned and designed according to central composite rotatable design, and second-order polynomial regression model was developed for regression and analysis of variance study. Results show the membrane has maximum permeate flux (%) when the operating pressure is 14.50 Pa, pore size is 0.20 μm, and inlet feed velocity is 2.10 m/s. The Pareto analysis in the study established that the inlet velocity was the most influential parameter in the model equation.

The influence of membrane pore size on the permeate flux, fouling mechanism, and rejection of soluble and suspended solids, as well as of phenolics and anthocyanins, in the clarification of grape marc extract by microfiltration (MF) was studied. MF was operated by using three monotubular ceramic membranes with a pore size of 0.14, 0.2, and 0.8 µm, respectively, according to a batch concentration configuration in selected operating conditions (2.25 bar as operating pressure, 4.93 L/min as feed flow rate, and 25 °C as operating temperature). No significant differences in the permeate flux values were appreciated despite the difference in pore size. The mathematical analyses of the flux behavior revealed that intermediate pore blocking is the predominant mechanism for 0.14 and 0.2 µm membranes, whereas complete pore blocking prevails for the 0.8 µm membrane. Differences in the fouling mechanism were associated with differences in the total phenols rejection: the highest rejection was observed for the 0.8 µm membrane followed by 0.2 and 0.14 µm membranes. All selected membranes showed low rejection of sugars, with values lower than 10%, and no retention towards anthocyanins. All the clarified extracts showed a turbidity lower than 4.87 NTU. Based on the experimental results, the 0.14 µm membrane appeared as the best option for the clarification of grape marc extract.

Ultrafiltration of untreated and pretreated aqueous radioactive wastes was conducted using a spiral-wound polysulphonamide membrane. The influence of process factors on its performances was experimental studied and predicted. Permeate volumetric flux and permeate total suspended solids (TSS) were measured at different values of feed flow rate (7 and 10 m3/h), operating pressure (0.1-0.4 MPa), and feed TSS (15 and 60 mg/L). Permeate flux (42-200 L/(m2�h)) increased with feed flow rate and operating pressure as well as it decreased with an increase in feed TSS, whereas permeate TSS (0.1-33.2 mg/L) exhibited an opposite trend. A 23 factorial plan was used to establish correlations between dependent and independent variables of ultrafiltration process.
