XC-N Salt Selective Nanofiltration
To meet water availability and discharge challenges, membrane-based minimal liquid discharge (MLD) is recognized as a cost effective solution for sustainable water management. While MLD provides options for wastewater reuse, […]
DPRShield and Related Applications
dprShield is a new technology for potable reuse that combines Porifera?s advanced forward osmosis technology, reverse osmosis, and a patent pending real-time, high-resolution membrane integrity monitoring system designed to increase […]
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 […]

Many inland reverse osmosis (RO) plant consists of evaporation ponds as the only disposal route for the concentrate stream. This climate dependent disposal route is limiting when rainfall seasons are […]
Nirobox
Some of the biggest challenges with “high-salinity”/sea water desalination; are the high costs of the civil works associated with the desalination plant, the long installation time until water can be […]
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, […]
