Using MBR for On Site Water Recovery in New Mexico – Challenges and Solutions
The Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (Water Authority) is developing a state of the art on site water resources recovery plant, located at a shopping center in the uptown district of Albuquerque. The Winrock Town Center was originally constructed in the early 1960s and is currently undergoing a complete renovation. The vision for the […]

Role of Membrane Fouling Layer on Release of Antibiotic Resistance Genes from Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactors
Innovative Use of Engine Exhaust to Treat Reverse Osmosis Concentrate
The mission of the Cumberland County Improvement Authority (“The Authority”) is to develop projects which are integral to the economic and environmental sustainability of Cumberland County. To further this goal, in 2018 Energy Power Partners (EPP) identified an opportunity to use previously wasted heat from its existing LFG to Energy Plant to evaporate leachate concentrate […]

High-Pressure Reverse Osmosis System Treating Wastewater from a Pharmaceutical Production Facility as Part of a ZLD Projectg
As part of compliance requirements, a new pharmaceutical assay production facility in Shanghai, China, owned and operated by a major multinational pharmaceutical company, was required to implement a zero liquid discharge (ZLD) wastewater treatment system. The ZLD system incorporates high-pressure reverse osmosis (RO) with permeate RO polishing and an evaporator for brine concentration. With a […]

Brine Minimization Maximizes Potential for an Inland Potable Reuse Project
Rancho California Water District (Rancho Water/District) in Temecula, California has been investigating options for a groundwater injection indirect potable reuse (IPR) project to provide a locally controlled, drought-resistant supply that decreases salt loading to the groundwater basin. The largest hurdle for this inland water agency is the disposal of reverse osmosis (RO) concentrate. An earlier […]
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 issue for many communities across the country. Water scarcity is not a new challenge for communities, yet a long standing problem. While non-potable reuse is […]
Demonstration of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Potable Reuse Projects
In many potable reuse projects, we largely rely on traditional control logics along with the conservative set points to take a unit process or entire treatment train offline to prevent the public consumption of unsafe water. While it represents a safe solution, it does not necessarily reflect the best management strategy due to potential losses […]
