The Headworks DPR Remonstration Project: Implementing DPR for the City of LA
The City of Los Angeles (City) is implementing various strategies for developing a sustainable, local water supply portfolio. One of the key strategies includes a potential potable reuse project sourced from the Los Angeles-Glendale (LAG) Water Reclamation Plant (WRP), with purified water delivered directly to the potable water distribution system at Los Angeles Department of […]
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 […]
