Increasing Reuse Supplies by Blending Nano Concentrate with Treated Effluent
The Loxahatchee River District (LRD) was one of the first large utilities in Florida to produce 100% reclaimed water in the 1980s. LRD’s overal wastewater management strategy is to provide […]
Effect of Cross Flow Velocity on an Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor for Domestic Wastewater
Anaerobic membrane bioreactors employ a membrane to retain biomass in the reactor, greatly reducing the hydraulic retention time needed for treatment and allowing for anaerobic treatment of dilute waste streams […]
Redefining the Economics of High Solute Water Treatment
The purposes of this paper are to compare forward osmosis (FO) to best available technologies for treating high salinity feed waters and waters that limit the capabilities of reverse osmosis […]
Integration of RO and PRO to Decrease Energy Expenditures in Seawater Desalination
While wind and solar are among the most well known renewable resources, salinity gradient power in nearly untapped and has the potential to increase renewable energy production by 20%. Pressure […]
Managing Membranes To Minimize Opex: An Update 10 Years After Start-up
This paper discusses the active management of a 10 MGD membrane filtration system to minimize operational costs over a decade of operation.
Post Treatment Challenges of Replacing Lime Softening with Nanofiltration
The purpose of this paper to present the findings of a research study developed by the Town of Jupiter and the University of Central Florida (UCF). Research was conducted to […]
Integrating MF/UF Membranes into an Existing Lime Softening Water Treatment Plant: A Case Study
The paper presents the final membrane design integration into an existing facility that took advantage of site grading in order to be able to implement a unique membrane siphon design […]
Comprehensive Results of West Basin Municipal Water District?s Multi-Year Ocean Water Desalination Demonstration Project
The goal of the Wwest Basin’s Temporary Ocean-Water Desalination Demonstration Project was to demonstrate an environmentally responsible, energy efficient, reliable desalination process. The specific objectives were to develop data for […]
The Mesa Water Reliability Facility – Achieving a Local, Sustainable Water Supply in Southern California
This paper describes the Mesa Water Reliability Facility?s treatment system, which includes nanofiltration (NF). Operational challenges included: inconsistent results between silt density index (SDI) filter pad technologies; membrane fouling characteristics […]
Implementation of the scwd2 Desalination Program in Santa Cruz, California
A seawater RO pilot study conducted at the City of Santa Cruz was conducted to evaluate treated water quality and integration into an existing potable water distribution system. Communication efforts […]
