eng OPTIMIZING PHARMACEUTICAL REMOVAL FROM WASTEWATER: HOW PROCESS PARAMETERS AND MEMBRANE CHOICE DETERMINE NANOFILTRATION PERFORMANCE. This study examines how key process parameters, which include transmembrane pressure (10–30 bar), pH (5–9), temperature (22.5–27.7 oC), and flow rate (5–15 L/min), affect the rejection of pharmaceuticals using commercially available polyamide nanofiltration (NF) membranes. Two NF membranes, AFC 30 and AFC 40, with different properties, were tested for their efficiency in removing Atenolol, Metformin, and Norfloxacin from synthetic wastewater.
