Treating a Variable Salinity Supply From Concept to Operation
The paper will describe the design of a reverse osmosis treatment facility that is capable of treating a variable salinity ground water supply with total dissolved solids ranging from 3,000 […]
Membrane Concentrate Management Alternatives for Inland Potable Reuse
Pressurized Ultrafiltration Membrane Performance at the Ventura, California Demonstration Plant
Severe drought over the last five years in California have forced municipalities to search for alternate sustainable sources of potable water. In January 2014, Governor Brown declared a drought state […]
Post-Treatment of RO Permeate with Calcite Contact to Provide Stability and Corrosion Control
Reverse osmosis (RO) permeate is aggressive, corrosive since it is soft, low alkalinity water with slightly acidic pH. Unless properly post-treated, finished water from RO facilities can cause corrosion to […]
Fixing the ?Data Rich, Knowledge Poor?: Leveraging Information Technologies for Enhanced RO Performance and Maintenance
Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems are monitored and maintained using a combination of SCADA, laboratory analysis and manual inspections. Changing factors such as temperature, feed water quality, permeate flow and system […]
Comparison of DCMD and VMID for Treatment of Produced Water from Unconventional Gas Extraction
Unconventional gas extraction by hydraulic fracturing generates a huge amount of high salinity wastewater that needs to be treated to enable its reuse and to reduce the amount of wastewater […]
Reverse Osmosis For Direct Potable Reuse In California
This presentation will address how RO is a critical treatment process barrier for groundwater recharge injection projects, Surface Water Augmentation, and Direct Potable Reuse. RO is effective at removing microorganisms […]
Pass The Salt – The Cambria Sustainable Water Facility Brine Solution
The Cambria Sustainable Water Facility is an indirect potable reuse facility located along the central coast of California. This presentation will focus on handling the brine discharge from the facility, […]
Overviewe of Efforts to Reduce High Recovery and Zero Liquid Discharge Costs
Over thirty companies, involving a wide range of technologies, are focusing on reducing the cost of high recovery desalination processing. A primary driver has been the potential of significant new […]
San Andres Turns to Seawater RO to Meet Critical Water Supply Shortfall
San Andres Island is located in the Caribbean northwest of the Colombian Coast. The northern part of the island is the center of the urban population and tourism, whereas the […]
