Discoloration of effluents by membrane technologies

Summary of the technology

Vinasse treatment was performed using membrane separation technologies. The combined use of ultrafiltration and nanofiltration allowed to reach levels of above 99% discoloration. Waste streams from these processes with high content of colored compounds were subjected to an adsorption - ultrafiltration hybrid process reaching 90% of discoloration.
