Results of 2017 Survey of US Municipal Desalination Facilities
This paper presents results from the latest survey conducted in 2017 and funded by the Bureau of Reclamation.
Performance of Super Enhanced Permeate Flow RO Elements With 3D Spacers Printed Directly on the Membrane Surface
Aqua Membranes has developed membrane feed spacers printed directly on the membrane surface. These spacers are thinner than conventional mesh spacers and allow up to twice as much membrane surface […]
City of Punta Gorda ROWTP and Blending Process Design Considerations
Provides a summary of design and process considerations for the proposed 4 MGD RO process and facilities for blending with the city’s existing surface WTP. Includes updates based on what […]
Expanding Reuse for Carlsbad, California, Using Membrane Technologies
The City of Carlsbad installed a 3.4 mgd UF facility to expand the reuse from the adjacent Encina Water Reclamation Facility. Water quality from the upstream wastewater plant resulted in […]
Advancing the Development of Direct Potable Reuse in Florida: Construction of a Full-Scale Demonstration Facility nears Completion

Optimization of Chemical O&M Costs for the Reverse Osmosis Membrane System Treating Reclaimed Water at up to 85% Water Recovery
The current study summarizes findings of over 9-month long optimization study evaluating different chemical dosing strategies to address common scalants, such as calcium phosphate, on reverse osmosis membrane systems used […]
Initial Performance of Membrane and Remineralization Processes for the Saws Brackish Groundwater Desalination Plant
At its proposed buildout capacity of 30 MGD, the SAWS BGD project will be the largest municipal RO treatment facility in the state of Texas and one of the largest […]
Hollow Fiber Open Nanofiltration for Surface Water Treatment
This paper will detail the considerations that favoured hollow fiber nanofiltration membrane filtration over alternatives and design of a number of full scale plants. It will provide operational data of […]
Attempting Zero Liquid Discharge from a Challenging Water Source using Membrane Based Processes
The United States constructed the San Luis Unit to provide irrigation in central California with the 1960 San Luis Act. Subsequent court orders mandated that agricultural drainage service be provided […]
Capacity Expansion and Water Quality Improvements at a Co-located Lime Softening and Membrane Facility
This paper will describe the findings of the engineering assessment and resulting recommendations for an optimal expansion plan and operation of a multi-process treatment facility, including NF, RO and lime […]
