Abstract

The present work aims at minimizing the number of tangential microfiltration experiments to study the effects of the operating conditions (the pressure (P) and the filtration time (t)) and the characteristics of the raw water (the material in suspension (SM)) on the permeate flux and the total resistance to fouling and the interactions between them (the pressure on the filtration time (P, t)) (the pressure on the suspended material (P, SM)) (the filtration time on the suspended material (t, SM)) by the use of Minitab software (version 16) to determine the optimum of the permeate flow and the total resistance to fouling as well as the mathematical model Jp = f (P, t, SM), RT = f (P, t, SM) during the production of drinking water.
