“Just Three More Years”: Creating a Membrane Plant Evaluation for Elevated Production and Risk
The Quinns Junction Water Treatment Plant (QJWTP) is located in Park City, Utah. The facility was constructed in 2012 by Carollo Engineering and upgrades discussed in this paper were designed […]
Delivering a Sustainable Water Supply Through Membrane Technologies
Climate change impacts, such as higher average temperatures and prolong drought conditions, have affected regional and local water supply reliability. The City of Santa Monica has long been a leader […]
The First U.S. Installation of a BWRO Pressure Exchanger
Energy recovery technologies such as the pressure exchanger (PX), have previously focused on seawater RO applications due to the rather quick payback. This leaves brackish water RO (BWRO) facilities to […]
Residuals Management & Zero Liquid Discharge Using Ceramic Membrane De-Watering
Common methods of managing residuals in drinking water production vary widely and include thickening tanks, drying beds, screw presses, polymer, solids handling and other hardware. These methods are routinely high […]
Pilot Studies of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Removal From Drinking Water with Membranes and Treatment of Membrane Concentrate
Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made fluorinated compounds of emerging concern in the water industry. PFAS are persistent and stable in the environment due to the strong chemical bond […]
Evolution of New Jersey’s Largest Membrane Facility Operations and Upgrades to City of New Brunswick’s Water Treatment Facility
The City of New Brunswick owns and operates the largest hollow fiber membrane plant in New Jersey. The plant treats surface water from two sources of supply: the Delaware and […]
Sturgis: More Than a Motorcycle Rally
The City of Sturgis is located approximately 28 miles west of Rapid City in western Meade County, South Dakota. The City reports a permanent population of approximately 7,000 people. The […]
Membrane Management Insights at a Large Scale SWRO Desalination Plant
This paper illustrates the added value of a holistic approach that facilitates control over maintenance and operation of a very large number of membranes and RO modules, by highly skilled […]
Lifecycle Cost Analysis of Photobioreactor Followed by Secondary RO for Enhanced Water Recovery in Brackish Water Desalination
Population growth and prolonged and frequent drought events call for an urgent need for alternative sources of water. The use of unconventional water resources such as brackish water and reclaimed […]
IPR vs. DPR: Which One Makes More Sense For Your Community
Direct potable reuse is now being considered a feasible opportunity and has the attention of many. Global warming, climate change, and drought has made water scarcity a top of mind […]
