Ceramic membranes for seawater pretreatment

Ceramic filtration would certainly be suitable for RO desalination plant pretreatment.  However, they do not offer any major advantages for seawater pretreatment as compared to standard plastic membranes used at present and are usually close to two times more expensive.  Therefore at this time there are no full-scale applications with ceramic membranes for seawater pretreatment. Such membranes have clear advantages in food industry and there they have found much wider application.
