In this paper, the separation of humic substances from oily wastewater was investigated using Hollow Fiber membranes. Consideration was given to the increase of membrane permeability or flux of the Ultra filtration process. Specifically, several factors which were temperature, pressure, time, pH and surface area of membrane, were studied. The Design of Experiments (DOE) methodology was used to investigate the effect of the factors. From the analysis of variance (ANOVA), it was determined that the pH and temperature of feed solution, time of separation process and trans membrane pressure are significant. The results of this study help to increase the permeability of membranes, thus contributing to a more sustainable filtration system.
