Combined NF and RO Concentrate Disposal Piping and Deep Injection Well Scaling: A Case Study
The aeration of combined NF and RO concentrate has resulted in unprecedented scaling in both the downstream disposal piping and deep injection well at the City of Deerfield Beach West […]
Advancements in Scaling Calculations and an In Depth Look at Antiscalant Dosing for Stressed Waters and High Recovery Systems
Over the past few decades the Reverse Osmosis (RO) industry has observed an increase in applications in challenging waters. Water sources that were never considered suitable for RO are now […]
Improving MBR Footprint – A California Case Study
When making improvements to membrane treatment products, it is important that all aspects of product performance and longevity be thoroughly investigated to maximise the value of the improvements. This presentation […]
A Successful Modification of Conventional SBR to MBR at Indian Casino and Facility: Case study of Chumash Casino and Resort Water Reclamation Facility (WRF)
A conventional wastewater treatment process such as sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was successfully upgraded to a membrane bioreactor (MBR) at an Indian casino resort and hotel, Santa Ynez, California. The […]
Advanced MBR Technology to Improve Water Quality and Increase Use of Recycled Water for West Basin Municipal Water District
This presentation will share the successful planning and design of an innovative tertiary membrane bioreactor (TMBR) facility. This facility will provide flexibility to meet future water quality challenges, reduce costs […]
Development and Application of New Methods to Measure Bacterial Activity and Nutrients in Seawater in Reverse Osmosis (SWRO)
ATP is a biomarker for biomass and can be used as a valuable indicator for biofouling. Until now, ATP in seawater could not be measured using luciferin/luciferase reaction due to […]
Analysis of 20 Micron Self-Cleaning Disc Filter Versus Cartridge Filters for RO Protection After Media Filters in a SWRO System
This analysis compared the use of traditional 20 micron cartridge filters versus self-cleaning disc filters as a ?safety stage’ between media filtration and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes in seawater desalination […]
Innovative Water/Energy Nexus: Optimizing Renewables by Combining Seawater Pumped Storage, Hydropower, and Desalination
As the global water community is experiencing an intensified deficit in fresh water resources, developing seawater desalination infrastructure has become a necessity for many regions. Over the decades, technology advancements […]
Post-Treatment of RO Permeate with Calcite Contact to Provide Stability and Corrosion Control
Reverse osmosis (RO) permeate is aggressive, corrosive since it is soft, low alkalinity water with slightly acidic pH. Unless properly post-treated, finished water from RO facilities can cause corrosion to […]
Hollow Fiber Ultrafiltration of Hydrophobic Natural Organic Matter (NOM) Waters using Different Pretreatment Schemes: Floatation versus Sedimentation
There has been only limited research on coagulation/flocculation/floatation as pretreatment for ultrafiltration (UF) membranes in drinking water treatment, and it has concentrated on the treatment of algal-laden waters, i.e., their […]
