We are in the full swing of summer! As such, I thought it would be fun to talk about HEAT! Specifically, I am referring to thermal storage. This is, by no means, a new technology. In fact, the concept has been around for some time!

Before we get going on this topic, let’s talk a bit about what a membrane is. It is a “thin layer of semi-permeable material that separates substances when a driving force is applied across the membrane.” Membrane filtration can be used for a number of different processes. Namely, for the removal of particles that are too fine for ordinary filtration techniques from liquids. These particles include proteins, bacteria, viruses, and dissolved salts.
