Itekhnoloji yokwahlula iiMembrane ibhekisa kukwahlulwa okukhethiweyo kwemixube yeemolekyuli ezinobungakanani bamasuntswana ahlukeneyo kumgangatho wemolekyuli xa udlula kwi-semi{0}}inwebu evuzayo. I-membrane -engenekayo, ekwaziwa njenge-membrane yokwahlula okanye inwebu yesihluzi, ineendonga ezigqunywe ngemingxuma emincinci. Ngokusekelwe kubukhulu be-pore, inokuthi ihlelwe njenge: i-microfiltration (MF), i-ultrafiltration (UF), i-nanofiltration (NF), i-osmosis ye-reverse (RO), njl.
Itekhnoloji yokwahlula iiMembrane yitekhnoloji evelayo esebenzisa i-membrane yokwahlula njengondoqo wayo ukwahlula, ukugxila, kunye nokucoca izinto. Le teknoloji yindlela yokwahlula isebenzisa i-semi{1}}inwebu engenekayo. Ngenxa yokuba imisebenzi yokwahlula inwebu iqhele ukwenziwa kubushushu begumbi, izinto ezahluliweyo zigcina iimpawu zazo zantlandlolo, zigcina umbala wokuqala, ivumba, incasa, isondlo, kunye nokwakheka kokutya, kunye nokugcina ukusebenza kwezithako ezisebenzayo. Inokukhethwa okuphezulu, inkqubo yokusebenza elula, uluhlu olubanzi lwezicelo, kunye nokusetyenziswa kwamandla aphantsi, ngoko inokusetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwimveliso yokutya. Ukwahlulwa kwe-Membrane kwavela ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yama-20 kwaye kwaphakama ngokukhawuleza kwaduma emva kweminyaka yoo-1960. Itekhnoloji yokwahlula iiMembrane, kunye nemisebenzi yayo yokwahlula, ukuxinana, ukucocwa, kunye nokusulungekiswa, kunye nokusebenza kwayo okuphezulu, ukonga amandla, ukukhuselwa kwendalo, ukuhluzwa kwenqanaba lemolekyuli, kwaye kulula kwaye kulula ukulawula inkqubo yokuhluza, isetyenziswe ngokubanzi kukutya, amayeza, ibhayoloji, ukhuseleko lokusingqongileyo, unyango lwemichiza, imveliso ye-elektroniki, i-petroluum yamanzi, i-petroluum yamanzi kunye ne-petroluum amanzi, i-petroluum, isinyithi, i-petroluum, kunye ne-petroluum. amasimi, evelisa inzuzo enkulu kwezoqoqosho nezentlalo kwaye ibe yenye yezona ndlela zibalulekileyo kwisayensi yokwahlula namhlanje.
