Concentrate Management and NDPDES Permitting For Inland Brackish Water Desalination Utilizing A River Shared By Multiple States
City of Fargo North Dakota has a surface water reverse osmosis system (RO) which requires brine concentrate discharge management back to a river that meets NPDES permit requirements. Contaminants of […]
Surface water nanofiltration: comparison of the performances of two nanofiltration membranes with two antiscalants
This study compares the performance of two nanofiltration (NF) membranes and two antiscalants injected upstream of the NF system. The pilot unit is installed at the Choisy-le-Roi drinking water treatment […]
Evaluation of cartridge filter performance: Are cartridge filters effective for SWRO desalination plants
Cartridge filter performance at Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) plants were studied at both open-ocean intake and well intake feed. The well intake showed no improvement in feed for NOM, bacteria […]
An Investigation of Low Biofouling Copper-charged Membranes for Microbial and Algal Control
