Anti-Adhesion and Anti-Fouling Coatings of Feed Spacer
In this work, a new approach for the anti-biofouling modification of the feed spacer surface has been proposed. Hydrophilic and zwitterionic sulfobetaine methacrylate-based coatings were generated by the combination of […]

U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy-Water Desalination Hub
The U.S. Department of Energy is funded a $100 million dollar early-stage research consortia, known as the Energy-Water Desalination Hub (Hub). The presenter will provide an overview of the Hub’s […]
RO-ED Desalination
Electrodialysis has many attributes that make it complementary to reverse osmosis, and make RO-ED a powerful combination to maximize recovery while maintaining high product water quality. These attributes of ED […]
END?: Managing Energy and Scale Formation at High Recovery
High recovery desalination is challenged by scale formation, energy consumption, and cost. The fundamentals of electrodialysis reversal make it uniquely suited to overcome membrane scaling at high recovery due its […]
The Mineral Recovery & Enhanced Desalination (MRED) Process
Use of brackish ground water for inland communities is challenging because, unlike sea water which is soft and amenable to desalination, desalination of brackish ground water is limited by mineral […]
Direct Contact and Vacuum Membrane Distillation Processes for Water Recovery
In this study, two MD configurations, vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) and direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD), were compared under different operating conditions. It was found that under the same conditions […]
Hybrid Algal-Osmosis Membrane System for Resource Recovery and ZLD Applied to Municipal Wastewater
An algal wastewater treatment process was combined with a hybrid forward osmosis (FO) and reverse osmosis (RO) membrane system to treat urban wastewater, harvest algae for recovering energy and nutrients, […]
