A novel process for the regeneration of PTMSP membranes is disclosed. The regeneration process includes washing a fouled PTMSP membrane with a solution containing at least about 50% butanol in water for a time sufficient to increase the flux and/or selectivity of the membrane. This regeneration process with a butanol containing solution significantly improves both the flux and selectivity of the PTMSP membrane and can regenerate the flux of the PTMSP membrane to the level of a previously unused membrane.

The common practice for treatment of palm oil effluent (POME) in Malaysia employs a combination of aerobic and an anaerobic treatment. Bearing in mind that the quantity of POME produced is high, reaching 740 000 m3 in May 2001, reuse and recycling of treated POME can be an excellent practice in terms of saving of water resources. As the treated POME is already low in certain parameters required by the Department of Environment (i.e. BOD, total and ammoniacal nitrogen, oil and grease), further treatment will greatly enhance the water quality. The purpose of the advance treatment step is to allow …
