Membrane Treatment of Brackish Water With High Iron Concentration

This paper will present information from recent piloting, design and operation of systems treating water with high iron concentrations at the Pinewoods facility in Florida. The paper will present a brief discussion of the typical iron pretreatments but will focus will be on the use of Nanofiltration/Reverse Osmosis membranes without significant pretreatment processes and provide a holistic view of the design process for these systems.
