Potential Drought Conditions Prompt UF & RO Pilot Study on High Organic Surface Water
Surface waters, from a water treatment perspective, can be difficult to treat due to variations in seasonal source water quality. The City of Grand Forks, ND water treatment plant (GFWTP) […]
Reduction in Organic Compound Concentrations Using Well Intakes from SWRO Facilities in the Caribbean and the Red Sea of Saudi Arabia
Subsurface intake systems are generally believed to deliver higher quality of feed water compared to open-ocean intake systems. Some new research results are reported from several desalination plants; two plants […]
Controlled Biofouling Comparisons Using Series Arrays of RO Membrane Elements
Controlled studies are needed which examine the anti-biofouling benefits of new membrane and module innovations. Such investigations are often very small in scale, or they may lack sufficient control over […]
Managing Fouling in Nanofiltration Systems: Literature Review and Practical Experience in South Florida
In South Florida, nanofiltration (NF) has become a vital part of the water treatment landscape. The widespread use of nanofiltration in the region, combined with a challenging source water, makes […]
A Novel Application of the Tertiary Membrane Bioreactor Technology for Water Reuse – A Comprehensive Pilot Testing
Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) combine secondary treatment and solids separation in one system that produces high quality effluent with virtually free of solids. Coupled with widely used biological nutrient removal (BNR) […]
Membrane Processes in Direct Potable Reuse – Equivalency Criteria and Treatment Train Evaluation
As interest in direct potable reuse (DPR) grows, equivalency criteria for comparing water quality after indirect potable reuse (IPR) and DPR must be developed. An expert panel convened by the […]
Achieving and Verifying Ultra-Low Phosphorus for Wastewater Discharge or Reuse
This paper gives the findings of the pilot study with regards to the sequencing batch reactor (SBR), cloth media filtration (CMF), and ultrafiltration (UF) parameters required to obtain ultra-low phosphorus […]
Economics of Brackish Water Resources
In Arizona, fresh water sources are currently and will continue to be limited. Natural surface waters are already fully developed, many groundwater sources are being over drafted, and the State’s […]
Membrane Treatment: The Answer for Smaller Communities
How do you fix a small public utility water supply issues that include potential health issues related to septic fields affecting the surficial aquifer, limited water supply yield, limited treatment […]
Built To Last: A Review of 10 Years of Performance of New Jersey’s First Microfiltration Plant
This paper provides an historical overview of the design of the Southeast Morris Municipal Utility Authority?s water treatment plant, focusing on the operating history and modifications that have been made […]
