Expert membrane filtration and water treatment ultrafiltration UF, microfiltation MF, nanofiltration NF, osmose inverse OI RO
Denis Vial expert membrane filtration and water treatment. He proposes studies membrane filtration , audits membrane filtration , diagnostics membrane filtration and water treatment : water, drinking, wastewater, seawater, microfiltration, utrafiltration, organic, ceramic
Its founder, an engineer by experience, is an expert with recognized expertise in the ultrafiltration or microfiltration membranes of all brands, of organic, inorganic, ceramic or mineral type, of capillary, hollow fiber, tubular or multi-multichannel flat or spiral configuration, operating in a pressurized mode or under pressure, or immersed or submerged, or under vacuum. Technically he apprehends phenomena related to membrane technology, the development of membranes and problems, advantages and disadvantages of membrane technology, audit of units, autopsy of membranes and modules, management of blockage or clogging, backwash or backwashing, cleaning or clean in place or CIP including CEB or chemically enhanced backwash. Its mission is to advise and assist communities, consulting engineers, water treatment companies seeking assistance to project management. Ethics and independence do not allow to sell membranes or the sale of membranes systems for all applications including water systems for general use and drinking water as softeners, non-collective sanitation, pools, aquariums, hot springs and baths.
