Presents information on use of FO for use in oil and gas industry. Explains background on FO, benefits and limitations of current FO membranes, potential applications for treatment of 180 g/L water, and testing results from FO pilot....

A desalination system comprising of two purification stages was developed: (1) a low-pressure forward osmosis pre-treatment stage that eliminates foulants from the feed water followed by (2) a high-pressure high-permeability reverse osmosis stage. The final prototype system demonstrated at the Port Hueneme facility desalinated a highly fouling chal...

dprShield is a new technology for potable reuse that combines Porifera?s advanced forward osmosis technology, reverse osmosis, and a patent pending real-time, high-resolution membrane integrity monitoring system designed to increase rejection and increase chances of successful permitting. This paper presents pilot data to increase overall recover...
