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 […]

An Emerging Application for Low-Pressure Membranes: Treatment of Backwash Waste at Surface Water Treatment Plants for Potable Reuse
In this study, guidance is provided for applying microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes to treat full-scale granular media filter (GMF) backwash water at drinking water plants. An example from the City of Melbourne in Florida is presented with the current approach to backwash water management at the full-scale along with a proposed approach to […]

Optimizing Organics Removal from Surface Water in a Coagulation / Ultrafiltration System
Surface waters contain inorganic and organic particulate substances that need to be addressed and potentially reduced for drinking water production. Inorganic particulate constituents are amongst others clay, silt and minerals. Organic particulate substances can include microorganism like viruses, bacteria and protozoa. One of the major problems of using surface water as source for drinking water […]

Freezing vs. Evaporation for Zero Liquid Discharge Desalination
The Evolution of High Recovery Reverse Osmosis to Achieve 95%+ Recovery
Increasing regulatory requirements and disposal costs around the world, as well as ESG mandates and incentives for recycling, are prompting industries to reduce their water and energy footprint, and highlight a growing need for innovation in reverse osmosis (RO) technology. Historically, it was challenging for conventional RO technologies to achieve recovery rates greater than 75% […]
