Making Utilities Clean Through Green – Town of Davie Water
This paper reinforces the vital role membranes continue to play in the water industry by showcasing state-of-the-art RO water treatment (12 mgd) and MBR-UV (7 mgd) water reclamation processes at […]
Effects of Pretreatment Ozonation on TOC Rejection of Reverse Osmosis Membranes
This testing will characterize RO elements for fouling performance and TOC rejection while treating ozonated secondary effluent. This paper will document the results of this testing, offering an important body […]
Predicting Removal of Trace Organics by Reverse Osmosis for Potable Reuse Applications
Potable reuse of municipal wastewater has emerged as a viable strategy for increasing the water resource portfolio in arid and water-stressed regions. To protect public health, organic compounds such as […]
Natural Organic Matter Fouling and Chemical Cleaning of Ceramic UF Membranes
The characteristics of NOM fouling and chemical cleaning of ceramic membranes during water treatment is an area that has not been researched in depth. The specific fraction of NOM foulants […]
A Study of Iron Redox Reactions and Associated Irreversible Damage Within Reverse Osmosis Systems
Case studies on reverse osmosis systems experiencing unexplained rejection loss with deep well water sources. Comparisons are assessed between sites with similar water sources that run smoothly and ones that […]
Saving Money using a Single Source of Responsibility Membrane Replacement with Life Cycle Analysis – City of Melbourne Case Study
The evaluation and lessons learned during the membrane replacement process are applicable to other utilities looking at membrane replacement and how to consider upgrades of their existing RO systems with […]
Analysis of 15-Year Low-Pressure Membrane System for Optimal Surface Water Treatment
The abstract describes the content of a paper that analyzes economic factors between running membranes beyond their useful life (if the membrane is still operational) and the cost of new […]
High-Recovery Treatment of RO Concentrate With Electrodialysis Metathesis
This important study evaluated a new electrodialysis (ED) technology, electrodialysis metathesis (EDM), which offers the potential to reduce the costs and energy associated with RO concentrate treatment, while reducing solid […]
Innovative Potable Water Purification without RO – Direct Potable Reuse Demonstration Pilot in Central Florida
The City of Altamonte Springs Potable Reuse Demonstration Pilot is an innovative treatment train in Central Florida which explores potable reuse without the use of reverse osmosis. The City aims […]
One Dose Fits All – Or Does It? The Use of Chloramine in Reuse Applications
This presentation will review the use of chloramine as a means of RO membrane fouling control in reuse applications and discuss the advantages and challenges of this approach. It will […]
