Water scarcity is one of the most important issues in the globe. Membrane technology is one of the most efficient technologies to tackle this problem. Membranes enable us to alleviate water stress by seawater desalination and wastewater treatment as well as produce safe drinking water by efficient removal of microorganisms and pollutants from water.
