No Cause For Alarm? How What is Not Covered in the MFGM Can Impact MF/UF Plant Operations and Control System Set Points
This paper and associated presentation explores these areas of regulatory discretion under the Long-Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) membrane regulatory framework, discussing the impact of different approaches […]
Evaluation of Treatment Performance and Membrane Fouling Propensity of Different Pore-Sized Ceram
Anaerobic membrane bioreactors offer a wastewater treatment process that uses less energy and space than an aerobic MBR. The anaerobic process leads to more frequent fouling and therefore more frequent […]
New Remineralization Process Using Micronized Calcite as a Sustainable Alternative to the Lime-Dosing System
Desalinated and naturally soft water is corrosive because of its low pH value and lack of minerals, and therefore requires post-treatment for water stabilization and corrosion control. Conventional water remineralization […]
Piloting Alternative Technologies for Indirect Potable Reuse in Florida
As growing demand taxes existing drinking water supplies and rising wastewater effluent standards lead to more advanced wastewater treatment, planned indirect potable reuse is becoming a feasible scenario for more […]
Maximizing the Value of Your Treatment Expansion Through Integrated Design and Project Delivery
This paper presents streamlined and proactive approaches to reduce capital costs while maximizing the value of a membrane water treatment expansions to rate payers.
Integrating MF/UF Membranes into an Existing Lime Softening Water Treatment Plant: A Case Study
The paper presents the final membrane design integration into an existing facility that took advantage of site grading in order to be able to implement a unique membrane siphon design […]
Impacts of Different Membrane Materials on the Novel Anaerobic Forward Osmosis MBR
The forward osmosis membrane reactor (FOMBR) was recently introduced as an energy saving candidate to replace conventional membrane-based wastewater treatment systems such as the MBR. This study proposes the integration […]
High Pressure Membrane Plant Design
This presentation from a preconference workshop in 2014 for Back to Basics on membrane technology discusses various aspects of a reverse osmosis system design. Included are the impact of water […]
Operating the Reynolds Desalinization Facility
This presentation reviewing the operations of the Sweetwater Authority’s Reynolds membrane plant was given at a Preconference Workshop in 2014 that discussed membrane plants from an operators point of view. […]
More Effective Maintenance Clearing on Microfiltration Membrane for a Secondary Effluent with High SDI, Hydrophilic Nom, and Low Temperature
In this case study, a pressurized microfilter (MF) was used without pretreatment processes such as screening and coagulation. In order to overcome the fouling issue associated with the secondary effluent, […]
