Abstract

This study investigates the impact of various 3D printed turbulence promoters (3DPTP) in a lab-scale low-pressure ultrafiltration membrane separation stirring unit using dairy model wastewater effluent. The research focuses on evaluating the performance of different 3DPTP shapes; and identifying the optimal 3DPTP material for the unit based on the best-performing shape. Multiple 3DPTP designs were developed, fabricated, and tested using various materials to assess key membrane separation parameters, such as permeate flux, membrane retention, and total, reversible, and irreversible resistances. Specific 3DPTP designs, particularly PLA-UE and PLA-S, significantly enhanced average permeates flux and reduced the total resistance. Among the tested materials, the resin material demonstrated superior performance by notably increasing permeate flux and reducing total resistance. Statistical analysis was employed to confirming the influence of 3DPTP designs and materials on the separation performance.
