Development of nanofiltration membrane for freshwater aquaculture wastewater treatment

Abstract

Aquaculture produces considerable quantities of organic matter, ammonia, and phosphorus during cultivation processes. These wastes must be discarded from the fish pond and treated before discharging into water bodies to prevent toxicity to the aquatic life and worsen the water quality. Aquaculture waste which is left without properly treated will cause deterioration to the water quality inside the pond or receiving water.
