The Causes and Cleaning Strategies for Microfiltration Membranes Fouled by Iron
Membrane fouling caused by iron or the combination of iron and organic matter is very common operating issue in membrane plants. Iron species in natural water can be dissolved, via […]
Is Organic Fouling Making Your Life Difficult? Mitigation of Organic Fouling of Low Pressure Membranes Using LC-OCD
This paper will describe the use of a unique organics characterization method, liquid chromatography with on-line carbon detection to identify the primary cause of organic fouling in two fouling scale […]
Removal of Colloidal Particles through Online Monitoring to Lower Microfiltration Membrane Fouling
Fouling of microfiltration (MF) membranes results in increased energy demand, increased cleaning intervals, and membrane replacement frequency. MF membrane fouling is largely due to deposition of colloidal nanoparticles
A Better Place to Be in than Utopia: Successful Reuse Facility Design Using Multi-Objective Optimization
This paper presents a successful story for optimizing the design of an industrial reuse facility using MF/RO/UV. Design parameters were established based on pilot testing and engineering evaluation. However, the […]
Design of MF/UF Membranes Side by Side with Conventional Filtration at the Catawba River Water Treatment Plant
This presentation is about planning and design of an expansion to an existing conventional WTP with MF/UF membranes and will provide the following learning opportunities to attendees:?How to design a […]
Design and Operation of an Integrated Membrane System for the Reclamation of Industrial Wastewater
Though the use of membranes for reclaiming municipal wastewater is well understood thanks to over 30 years of experience, the reclamation of industrial wastewater is an ongoing challenge due to […]
Investigation of the Self-forming Dynamic Membrane Formation in An Anaerobic Self-forming Dynamic Membrane Bioreactor
The conventional membrane bioreactor technology is a versatile solid-liquid separation used in wastewater treatment for clean effluent production developed in the last few decades. Nevertheless, the research on anaerobic self […]
Novel Anaerobic Dynamic Membrane Biofilm Reactor Addresses Disadvantages of Conventional Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactors
Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) provide many advantages for wastewater treatment and resource recovery from waste streams, and AnMBR research has grown exponentially in recent years. Studies have shown that AnMBRs […]
Breaking the Mold: Reducing Labor Using an Alternative to Diffused Air Aeration Basins with an MBR
Seeking a solution to the problem of a minimally staffed, remotely operated treatment plant, drove the project team toward a solution that doesn?t fit the traditional MBR model. This abstract […]
