Design and Operation Diagnosis of Membrane Water Treatment Plant Using a Constant Flux Fouling Model
This paper describes a model system to predict fouling of low pressure membrane systems using a constant flux model.
Greywater Treatment and Reuse Optimization via UASB and MBR in Egypt
USAB treatment followed by MBR treatment based systems are able to treat greywater to effectively remove pathogens that allow this water resource to be used for direct irrigation of edible […]
O&M Lessons Learned from a 150 GL/Y Seawater Desalitaion Plant: The Victorian Desalination Project
The Victorian Desalination Project provides drinking water to Melbourne and surrounding communities using seawater desalting and represents one of the most complex Public Private Partnership projects undertaken in southern Australia. […]
Microfiltration and Ultrafiltration Standardization – A Review of Current Mechanical and Process Convergence and a Look Forward.
Without a standard approach to process and mechanical convergence of MF and UF treatment systems, end users and consulting engineers continue to deal with one-of-a-kind, non-interchangeable and incompatible systems. This […]
Not “Rolling the Dice”: A structured approach to starting up two large MBR facilities in the Las Vegas basin
Two large BNR MBR facilities were commissioned in the City of Henderson (Henderson SWRF) and the City of North Las Vegas (CNLV WRF) in the summer of 2011. In both […]
Operational Optimization of a Surface Water Membrane Facility; Considering Pretreatment, Post-treatment, and Associated Costs
The design, construction, and start-up of a surface water membrane treatment facility, while difficult, were not the last challenges faced by operational staff. Daily operation of the individual system components, […]
Silt Density Index: A Fresh Perspective on an Old Index
This paper demonstrates the need for consistency in the use and selection of silt density index (SDI) filter pad chemistries by membrane treatment plant operators for their specific facility. While […]
What?s New in RO Membrane Cleaning? Micro-Bubbles and High Ionic Strength Effervescent Cleaners Enhance RO Membrane Foulant Removal
The use of micro bubbles, effervescents, and high ionic strength cleaneres are explored for novel approaches for the removal of foulants on RO and NF membrane surfaces. The unique part […]
Membrane Filtration at the Waimea Water Treatment Plant Will Provide More Than Just Clean Water
To address the issues of an aging WTP and licensure requirements, the Wiamea WTP began a project to upgrade its plant with membrane filtration to reliably produce 4 MGD. A […]
MF/UF Back to Basics Water Reuse & MBR?s
This presentation from a preconference workshop in 2014 for Back to Basics on membrane technology discusses water reuse and membrane bioreactors. A description of the various aspects of water reuse […]
