Nanostructured Membranes for FO and PRO Applications
Only a very short abstract was provided; not enough to develop a summary!...
Integrated Membrane Systems for Treatment of Produced Water and Frac Flowback Wastewater
Discusses water use in O&G industry and use of integrated membrane systems to address water treatment needs. Includes discussionon biologically active filtration, UF, NF, RO, and FO....
Evaluating Membrane Performance in Osmotically Driven Membrane Processes: Enhancement of Testing Methods for Industrial Wastewater Treatment Applications
This paper investigates the performance of forward osmosis membranes under operating conditions typical of industrial-scale FO membrane modules. Using a novel bench top system experiments were performed one cellulose triacetate and two thin film composite polyamide membranes were tested to evaluate the performance of traditional and emerging FO me...
Evaluating System Performance of a Decentralized SBMBR Treatment Facility Used for Tailored Urban Water Reuse
This paper presents the results from a Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) system energy analysis and an ongoing air-scour energy optimization study. The energy analysis was conducted on the major MBR system components that include the RAS pump, permeate pumps, and air scour blower. Preliminary energy consumption and membrane transmembrane pressure (TMP) re...
The UFO-MBR - a Potable, Indirect Potable, and Nutrient Recovery Technology
The implementation of potable reuse will require treatment processes with multiple barriers to prevent microbial, nutrients, and other contaminants of concern from compromising public health. The osmotic membrane bioreactor (OMBR) is a multiple barrier that is comprised of three treatment barriers: biological treatment for carbon and nutrient remov...
Hybrid Biofiltration and Integrated Membrane Systems for Treatment of Produced Water and Frac Flowback Wastewater
This study evaluates the performance of Ultrafiltration (UF) and Nanofiltration (NF) membranes following biologically active filtration (BAF) pretreatment of Piceance and Denver-Julesburg (DJ) basins produced water (PW) and frac flowback wastewaters....
Forward Osmosis for Treatment of O&G Exploration Wastewaters: Assessment of Membrane Performance and Process Sustainability
This paper describes work done to investigate Forward Osmosis for the treatment of Oil and Gas exploration wastewaters with an assessment of membrane performance and process sustainability...
Three Years Piloting of Osmotic MBR for Potable Reuse: Performance and Life-Cycle Assessment
This paper describes a hybrid ultrafiltration forward osmosis-osmotic membrane bioreactor (UFO-MBR) as a multi-barrier reuse technology that has been studied at the pilot level continuously in the last three years. UFO-MBR treatment has been shown to almost completely remove conventional wastewater contaminants (carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus) an...
