This presentation discusses the development, testing, and applicability of green chemical cleaning and antiscalant products for reverse osmosis (RO) processes. The presentation begins with an overview of the goals of green chemical development which include the production of chemicals free of EDTA and phosphates. Testing procedures and results are ...

Spiral-wound water purification elements (e.g. reverse osmosis, nanofiltration) were developedin the 1960s in response to increasing water demand. Since then, the need for pure water has evolved to include not only the residential but also industrial sectors as most product developments and processes require ultrapure water. As the need for this wa...
