Management of our global water resources is vital to creating sustainable water supplies for potable, agricultural, recreational and industrial use. Reuse is an economic and environmentally sound solution that uses less energy and actually reduces overall waste compared to desalination. Integrating low-pressure membranes with reverse osmosis to tre...

This PowerPoint presentation describes hollow fiber ultrafiltration system designs....

This PowerPoint presentation gives a brief description of the Kamole microfiltration plant on the Island of Maui....

This paper is a case study of the City of Yuba City operates a 36 mgd surface water treatment plant. The paper covers testing of conventional and membrane filtration systems as well as full scale membrane operation when membrane integrity issues began to impact operations. Testing was conducted on new membrane filtration modules with improved abras...

When making improvements to membrane treatment products, it is important that all aspects of product performance and longevity be thoroughly investigated to maximise the value of the improvements. This presentation describes testing done in a full-scale MBR plant in California to validate a product improvement in a novel way, and some of the accel...

This paper will describe the use of a unique organics characterization method, liquid chromatography with on-line carbon detection to identify the primary cause of organic fouling in two fouling scale ultrafiltration plants, biopolymers and cTEP, and how the LC-OCD results were used to mitigate the impacts of these foulants through optimization of ...

As climate change further stresses water supplies, there's increased focus on minimizing waste from municipal WTP's. As a result, facilities often investigate ways to either reduce waste or recycle waste streams, and optimize cleaning regimes (frequency, chemicals...). The first portion of the presentation will cover items to check if cleaning rec...
