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) and TOrCs.
