The Round Mountain WTP: A Brackish Water RO Facility for Water Self-Reliance and Regional Salinity Management
This paper and presentation address the permitting issues and cost evaluation for an inland brackish water treatment plant. The solution to these challenges created a successful model for the region to follow....
A Case Study in Controlling Phosphate-Induced Scaling in Potable Reuse
In potable reuse, reverse osmosis (RO) is important for system-level salinity management and as a pathogen barrier in the treatment train. Scaling is a key driver of cost for RO systems because it increases energy use and leads to more frequent cleaning and replacement of membrane elements. Phosphate-induced scaling in particular has been identifie...
Exceeding 90% Recovery with Conventional and Closed-Circuit RO: Results from Parallel Pilot Systems
For inland reverse osmosis (RO) systems, brine disposal is often difficult and costly, and there is significant interest in increasing recovery and reducing brine volumes. The City of Buckeye, AZ owns brackish wells that have trace amounts of arsenic, nitrate, and various metals, and is considering RO treatment for these wells. Stantec performed a ...
