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 […]
Key Parameters to Consider When Designing a Membrane Plant
The Art and Science of Cleaning RO and NF Systems
Clean in Place (CIP, cleaning) is an integral part of maintaining reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) systems. Over time, organic and inorganic foulants present in the feed water will […]
Artificial Intelligence for Optimizing Reverse Osmosis Operations, Saving energy and Chemicals
Tap Into Your Data To Improve Membrane Cleaning, What is AI and How Can It Support Operators
Nowadays, numerous sensors are installed at membrane facilities that collect a considerable amount of data each hour. Analyzing these data brings tremendous opportunity for the operators to better operate the […]
Potential Cleaning Issues and Membrane Residuals Handling
As climate change further stresses water supplies, there’s increased focus on minimizing waste from municipal WTP’s. As a result, facilities often investigate ways to either reduce waste or recycle waste […]
Reality of Membrane Cleaning Onsite
Onsite CIP systems vary significantly depending on manufacturer or system budget. RO CIP process will also vary depending on the type and degree of fouling in the RO system. This […]
Designing RO Systems for Effective Cleanings and Maintenance
Designing RO Systems for Effective Cleanings and Maintenance
Clean in Place System Design
Key features of effective clean-in-place systems used for RO will be explained. Examples showing design alternatives for clean-in-place system configuration will be presented.
Getting Back to the Basics of Cleaning – Rules of Thumb
Membrane cleaning has changed both quantitatively and qualitatively in the past 40 years but there are basic steps that should be followed. Cleaning time, temperature, hydrodynamic conditions, and concentration of […]
