The Fate of Desalination in Regional Water Planning in Texas
This paper presents the water development plan for the state of Texas and how desalination will play an important role in that effort.
Feasibility analysis of energy recovery devices (ERD) for low TDS membrane applications
This PowerPoint give a comparison of energy recovery options for the treatment of low tds water and presents a few case histories.
Implementing Universal UF Systems – Separating Truth From Fiction
This paper looks at four separate membrane filtration facilities where universal or semi-universal membrane skids have been incorporated, comparing design approaches, contracting approaches and plant operation with comparable facilities using […]
Incorporation of Novel Anti-Biofilm Molecules into NF/RO Membranes for Biofouling Control
This paper describes research of incorporation 2-aminoimidazoles (2-A1) a anti-biofilm molecule into the NF/RO membrane matrix for fouling control. The specific objectives of this research were to: (1) determine whether […]
Emergency Raw Water Desalination for Texas Drought Response
This presentation will detail the unique planning, design, discharge and treatment permitting, and construction procurement/execution implemented to provide a crucial new water supply to the Palo Pinto CMWD1 and City […]
Post Treatment Optimization for Desalination and Groundwater Recharge
This paper presents three studies of post treatment of membrane treatment, with a focus on more than a dozen lessons learned from the following three desalination and groundwater recharge facilities: […]
A Novel Air Backwashing Method for Reversing Wetting in Membrane Distillation
This paper describes a new method to reverse wetting of the hydrophobic membrane in membrane distillation. Pressurized air is pushed through the wetted membrane from the distillate side, thus forcing […]
Development of a Zero-Carbon Footprint Brackish Water Desalination System
This paper discusses the feasibility and implementation of photovoltaic power in the development of a PV-ED desalination system. The results of this project summarized and determined the amount of incoming […]
Using Seawater Desalination to Diversify California Water Supply
This paper examines a SWRO project in California and the key concerns of energy cost, source water supply and brine disposal. An innovative design using a new generation hybrid configuration […]
San Antonio Desal Moving Full Speed Ahead: Construction of the Saws Brackish Groundwater Desalination Facility
