Analysis of 15-Year Low-Pressure Membrane System for Optimal Surface Water Treatment
The abstract describes the content of a paper that analyzes economic factors between running membranes beyond their useful life (if the membrane is still operational) and the cost of new […]
Design Completion and Update on the Largest Ultrafiltration Retrofit in Florida for Lake Manatee WTP
This abstract will give an update on design and procurement of Florida’s largest low-pressure membrane facility: i.e., 54-mgd ultrafiltration (UF) retrofit at Lake Manatee Water Treatment Plant in Manatee County. […]
Planning for an Integrated Membrane Surface Water Treatment Plant – An Owner?s Perspective
To meet the current and future water demand needs, the city of Pearland is planning to construct a new membrane Surface Water Treatment Plant. The plant will have a production […]
City of Punta Gorda ROWTP and Blending Process Design Considerations
Provides a summary of design and process considerations for the proposed 4 MGD RO process and facilities for blending with the city’s existing surface WTP. Includes updates based on what […]
Attempting Zero Liquid Discharge from a Challenging Water Source using Membrane Based Processes
The United States constructed the San Luis Unit to provide irrigation in central California with the 1960 San Luis Act. Subsequent court orders mandated that agricultural drainage service be provided […]
ZLD Using Ceramic Membranes
Since 2015 ceramic membranes have been in continuous use in dewatering MF and UF membrane concentrate to achieve Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD). In this case study for DOC and Fe, […]
Reverse Osmosis Brine Treatment by Splitting Scaling Salts: Low-Cost Alternatives to Recover Freshwater and Produce Solids
There are thousands of implementations of reverse osmosis (RO) treating industrial water. However, options for treating RO brine are limited. The proposed paper will introduce two novel technologies for residuals […]
Elucidating Structure-Performance Relationships and Transport Mechanisms of Charge Mosaic Membranes
Membrane Surface Energy Required to Delay Gypsum Scaling in Brackish Water Reverse Osmosis Systems
This presentation will discuss efforts to investigate the favorable role of a high surface energy to delay the crystallization and adsorption of gypsum to thin-film composite membranes at concentrations relevant […]
Strategic Separation of Polyvalent Cations Using Nanofiltration Membranes
Recovery of rare earth elements (REEs) from oil and gas produced waters could ease the United States dependence on China’s current domination in REE production. Furthermore, NF separation practices could […]
