CONCLUSIONS
This study presents a practical method for fabricating PA-TFCHF membranes via IP for commercial utilization in OPD processes. To reduce the production costs and improve performance for the ODP process, a one-pot hydrophilic coating procedure was developed. With this procedure, we successfully produced inside PA using the co-flowing IP method. The methods were directly applied to large size HF modules. With studying the module configuration to minimize the external concentration polarization, the performance of 4-inch PA-TFCHF modules has 13 LMH of water flux. To improve the expected HF performance, we are still developing the configuration of modules as well as optimized HFs with the PHILOS Company (Korea) in order to release the OPD module on the global market.
