✦ Synopsis

The pmbkms of membrane p&&&ion have uim and been ~vtnxwnc since 1962. At the same time the et~&uecria@ deign or ck&rodialysb c~~~poncnts has baam simpler and aore rabust, due to better design using new materi& NCR as p&pfopylm~. The CDjt per square metm af instalkd arcmImmc am her fallen so that cxonmis plant sizes call for lightly stmmd nmmbrancs, which in tm kad to reliable and tlexiblc plants. bperimoe in the field is naw mifmrnly good, 7kis paper will present a sequel to that given by the author at the previous Symposium in Athens. The paper prcscntcd to that meeting suggested that the basic prablems of the Ehxtrodialysis proces r had been solved and that further progress would be made only in the improvement of ~nginecring components, the simplificdtion of a flowsheet, and the standard&ion of plants. This forecast was only partly true. In the five years since then we first suffered severe disappointments and more recently very gratifying successes. One major basic process problem arose and was overcome. However, the engineering improvements which we forecast five years ago have continued steadily.
