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 […]
The Importance of Data Normalization in Optimizing UF/RO Operations
A review of real-world membrane facility (UF/RO) operating data, highlighting the importance of implementing a normalization program. Raw operating data will be compared to normalized data illustrating the impact of […]
Overcoming the Challenges of High Recovery Operation with Electrochemical Desalination
Water efficiency (recovery) for industrial process and wastewater treatment is often limited by hardness and silica levels in the feed stream. In particular, water efficiencies above 90% often lead to […]
Case Studies on Energy Efficient TIPS PVDF MBR in a Municipal and an Industrial Application
Adoption of membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems continues to grow, even without space constraints or plans to further treat the wastewater for beneficial reuse. Municipal and industrial WWTPs are selecting the […]
Ligasep – Membrane Degasification
Membrane degasification applications are primarily located downstream of MF/UF filtration equipment. Membrane degasification enables the reduction in dissolved gas in treated water which facilitates increased efficiency of downstream technologies such […]
Cinco MUD No. 1 Brackish Groundwater Desalination Plant
Presentation will show the challenges associated with impaired water that includes arsenic, iron, gas, boron, heat, and the membranes selected for the RO system and the pretreatment system consisting of […]
Case Studies on MBR Technologies Currently Being Implemented in Texas
Because of the historical cost and perceived complexity of MBR technology, there are still a limited number of large MBR facilities in operation in Texas (the majority of the existing […]
Designing MBR Systems with Flexibility in Mind
This presentation provides an overview of membrane bioreactor (MBR) processes and identifies options for incorporating flexibility in design. Several case studies are presented that show examples of flexible MBR designs […]
Texas Case Study, Single Stage MBR Package Plant System with Ceramic Membranes
Single-stage MBR technology is designed and engineered to be extremely simple to operate and optimize. This single-stage process uses one set of blowers to provide mixing, air scouring and process […]
Developing and Implementing a Membrane Cleaning Procedure
Membrane cleaning basics as it applies to micro, ultra Nano and reverse osmosis Membranes. when to clean how to determine that cleaning point, what cleaners to use and why. determining […]
