Abstract
Membranes used in membrane separation technologies change over time due to changes in physical characteristics of the membrane. Predicting remaining useful lifetime of a membrane is performed by fitting an evolution model of the membrane to real-time performance characteristics recorded for the membrane and by comparing later performance characteristics of the membrane to the evolution model. Updating an evolution model during membrane operation improves estimates of remaining useful membrane lifetime and allows for accurate estimates of estimated membrane end-of-life.
