Due to prohibitively high cost of inland desalination, there has been a surge of interest into emerging technologies and techniques for recovery enhancement and concentration minimization. EDR has been identified for its potential as a high-recovery desalination technology. This research hypothesis was that EDR could effectively treat brackish grou...

Findings show that dozens of CECs are present in brine concentrates of reuse reverse osmosis (RO) streams. CECs include hormones, steroids, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. Treatment methods for the removal of CECs are reviewed....

This paper discusses the feasibility and implementation of photovoltaic power in the development of a PV-ED desalination system. The results of this project summarized and determined the amount of incoming voltage and amperage needed to properly and efficiently run the PV-ED system. The operations of the unit was tested under three different phases...

Recycled water projects that include some form of potable reuse are becoming more common in the water industry. They are being built to help alleviate water shortages throughout the world by allowing the reuse of available water. Many of these systems utilize membrane processes to remove soluble and insoluble contaminants to produce high quality pr...

Cal Poly Pomona, Carollo Engineers, Inc., and Pall Corp. are participating in a water reuse research funded by Bureau of Reclamation to evaluate novel treatment train ?integrated membrane anaerobic stabilization (IMANS)? system for wastewater treatment and water reclamation, the performance of microfiltration (MF) and reverse osmosis (RO) of primar...
