This paper investigates many aspects of the Australian SWRO projects and correlates them to conditions in the United States. It describes the key factors for project implementation, relative sizes of the planned facilities, the alternatives to SWRO and the justifications for selecting SWRO in Australia. It also provides a variety of summary tables...

This paper decribes the pilot study to evaluate scale inhibitors on the performance of membranes selected for removing salt from the brackish groundwater feeding the Burnt Store Water Treatment Plant (WTP)...

This PowerPoint describes the Fullerton WTP Pilot Plant microfiltration Study Results...

The advent of the Long-Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) marked the beginning of new era in the regulation of membrane technology for drinking water treatment....

This paper provides an overview of the LT2ESWTR membrane regulatory framework. The presentation will discuss the concept of integrity test resolution in detail, including an explanation of the relevent equations from the Membrane Filtration Guidance Manual and an overview of the ability of the various MF/UF manufacturers to comply with the require...

The Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) is proactively taking steps towards expanding their domestic water supply and service by investigating a new surface water treatment plant (SWTP) supplied by the Colorado River....

An overview of the status of the Coquina Coast Desalination Project in Florida. A comparison of land-based and vessel-based desalination options is included....

"This paper will present the results of the vessel-based and land-base desalination evaluation including evaluation of intake and concentrate disposal alternatives and impacts to pretreatment requirements. It will discuss costs for the various alternatives evaluated, the unique local challenges to project implementation, and general challenges to i...

This presentation emphasizes on the importance of maximizing recovery at MF/UF systems. Several cases are presented and suggestions such as using more efficient backwashing (by using less water each time and backwashing less frequently) are elaborated. Benefits of using less water and creating less wasted water are explained in detail....

This presentation describes the various aspects of the Coquina Coast desalination project that was considered for Northeast Florida...

This presentation Provides an overview of NF/RO and helps with an understanding of their application concepts. It provides logical selection process by answering the fundamental questions about when NF/RO can, should and must be used. It also helps with identification of critical issues (e.g., cost, fouling, residuals, risks and regulations) for...

Ten SWRO facilities in seven countries were interviewed in on a number of topics covering conveyance, hydraulics, integration, blending strategies, water quality goals, post-treatment, corrosion control and lessons learned. The most significant findings were strategies for controlling bromide to minimize chloramine residual decay, the advantage...

This paper provides an overview of the approach and focused deliberation which resulted in the selection of a treatment process that moved beyond regulatory requirements to meet consumer expectations for the City of Rifle, CO. The application of RO for treating fresh surface water is relatively uncommon but are likely to increase as utilities use ...

The purpose of this paper is to compare concentrate management strategies for recycled wastewater, highly brackish groundwater, seawater, and saline surface water. Discussed is a process for generating calcium carbonate by combining carbon dioxide emissions from power plants with seawater to mitigate global warming, and to recycle the calcium carb...

Considerations that must be addressed when bidding an open platform UF system...
