Comparison of Pilot and Full Scale Ion Exchange Pretreatment to Microfiltration Membranes
Microfiltration membrane fouling can occur through the accumulation of particles, organic matter and biological growth. Depending on the surface water source and the treatment prior to water contacting the membrane, different fouling mechanisms can occur and physical and chemical cleanings become necessary for the membrane to produce water efficien...
Beneficial Reuse and Waste Minimization of Hexavalent Chrome Ion Exchange Brine
This PowerPoint presentation describes the beneficial reuse and water minimization of hexavalent chromium ion exchange brine....
Attempting Zero Liquid Discharge from a Challenging Water Source using Membrane Based Processes
The United States constructed the San Luis Unit to provide irrigation in central California with the 1960 San Luis Act. Subsequent court orders mandated that agricultural drainage service be provided to the farms that were supplied irrigation under the San Luis Act. The impacts to waterfowl and other aquatic species that manifested in 1985 at Keste...
Maximizing RO Recovery for a High Scaling Potential Water Source for Downstream ZLD
This paper provides detail descriptions of strategies and techniques that are used to maximize RO recovery for a water source with very high scaling potential. RO recovery maximization is critical for downstream Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) operation due to extremely high costs associated with ZLD. Planning level of cost estimations for the membrane...
