Abstract

In our research, we aimed to explore how the filtration efficiency of a specialized membrane filtration device could be enhanced using custom-made, 3D-printed spacers with various geometric designs. We performed experiments using model dairy wastewater with an average load, a polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration membrane, and a membrane filtration device. The tests were performed with (and without) different spacer configurations. During the experiments, we evaluated several factors, including the permeate flux, membrane retentions, resistances, and specific energy consumption. Our measurements clearly showed that the use of 3D-printed spacers significantly improved the filtering efficiency, with some geometric configurations yielding better results.
