Advanced Membrane Filtration For Water Reuse Applications

With a greater number of regions suffering severe or prolonged drought conditions, water reuse is globally on the rise, and in fact is a key part of many municipal and industrial water resource management plans.  In 2005, around 5,000 million gallons/day (MGD) of water was reused worldwide, and that number is expected to be 8,000 by 2010 and 14,000 by 2018.

Approximately 59% of additional capacity will involve tertiary or further treatment, and the remainder will involve secondary treatment only, predominantly in emerging markets.
