Economic Study for Green Nanoceramic Membrane Production

This research evaluates the cost of manufacturing nanoceramic membranes unit based on waste produced from ceramic industry. Membrane system is cost competitive with conventional and advanced vehicle membranes to gain the market-share required to influence the environment and reduce the cost of the membrane units for water treatment. This study depends on conceptual design for ceramic membrane production process and the estimated housing for these membranes. The economic study indicates that production of ceramic membranesusing recycling waste from ceramic industry reduced the cost of membranes filter to be 2.2 $/m(2) of ceramic membrane. While the economic calculations indicate that the original capital investment of small project in this side will be recovered after approximately one year.
