New High Recovery Fort Irwin Water Works Supports Critical Army Training Mission
A 2007 pilot study by CH2M Hill identified electrodialysis reversal (EDR) as the preferred main treatment process to reduce source water contaminants to below drinking water standards. EDR was preferred […]
High-Recovery Electrodialysis Reversal for the Desalination of Inland Brackish Waters
Due to prohibitively high cost of inland desalination, there has been a surge of interest into emerging technologies and techniques for recovery enhancement and concentration minimization. EDR has been identified […]
Impacts of Different Membrane Materials on the Novel Anaerobic Forward Osmosis MBR
The forward osmosis membrane reactor (FOMBR) was recently introduced as an energy saving candidate to replace conventional membrane-based wastewater treatment systems such as the MBR. This study proposes the integration […]
Membrane Biofilm Reactor for Nitrate and Perchlorate Treatment
Research was conducted on a pilot-scale drinking water treatment plant system utilizing a membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) for treatment of nitrate and perchlorate where the MBfR uses anaerobic autotrophic biodegradation […]
The UFO-MBR – a Potable, Indirect Potable, and Nutrient Recovery Technology
The implementation of potable reuse will require treatment processes with multiple barriers to prevent microbial, nutrients, and other contaminants of concern from compromising public health. The osmotic membrane bioreactor (OMBR) […]
Ocean Desalination Water Quality Integration Study
Prior to the introduction into a drinking water distribution system, desalinated water requires post-treatment that involves the addition of minerals back into the water to provide a water quality that […]
Advancements in Desalination Technologies
As the gap between world-wide water supply and demand widens and the availability of fresh water supplies dwindle, neew technologies are urgently needed to treat impaired waters in a sustainable […]
Membrane Filtration at the Waimea Water Treatment Plant Will Provide More Than Just Clean Water
To address the issues of an aging WTP and licensure requirements, the Wiamea WTP began a project to upgrade its plant with membrane filtration to reliably produce 4 MGD. A […]
Fouled and Back Again: A Membrane’s Tale
The City of Mansfield, Texas owns and operates the Bud Ervin Water Treatment Plant (WTP). The facility includes both a conventional treatment train and a membrane filtration train consisting of […]
Utilizing a Novel TMP Balance Approach to Analyze Process Data and Investigate Ultrafiltration Membrane Fouling during Surface Water Treatment
Membrane fouling is a limiting factor for the operation of UF processes and fouling management is critical for successful integration of UF technologies in water treatment. A new data analysis […]
