Latest Insights on Water Reuse

  1. Uniting To Combat Water Shortages Across The Country 4/29/2020

    A clean and reliable water supply is critical to our nation’s future, but freshwater is a finite resource.

  2. Spiral-Wound Filters A Lynchpin For Ultrafiltration And Microfiltration Applications 3/9/2020

    Spiral-wound filters are susceptible to accumulations that can reduce their lifespan. The good news is that new developments in single-layer membrane technology are allowing filter elements to generate higher flux rates and cleaner permeate while reducing the tendency for fouling.

  3. The Improved Business Case For Membranes In Industrial Water Reuse 2/13/2020

    Membrane filtration can be a valuable tool in industrial operations by removing oils and solids that are generally not captured with other bulk separation methods. However, membranes have traditionally been limited by low throughputs, poor durability, and the inability to consistently achieve low residual oil levels. The good news is advanced membrane filtration technologies that promote efficient and economical water reuse are now available.

  4. Water Scarcity In Texas: Rushing Ahead Of Science Could Scuttle Solutions 1/28/2020

    Water scarcity is a challenge facing many Texas communities, and it’s encouraging to see how many state leaders are proactively exploring solutions to our growing water needs. This has brought the oil and gas industry and the massive volumes of water it uses and produces each year into the conversation.

  5. Waste Not, Want Not — Turning Wastewater Into An Asset 1/21/2020

    Every water project is different, but each one also provides lessons for others, such as this profile of a Southern California reuse project where conveyance needed to be routed around a protected environment.

  6. How To Choose A UV System For Water Reuse In Your Facility 1/14/2020

    Water reuse is, and will continue to be, one of the biggest considerations for companies all over the world in the battle against water scarcity. By reusing process water, grey water, and wastewater, buildings and facilities will reduce their demand for raw water from surface and groundwater sources and reduce the associated costs of supplying raw water and treating raw water before use. One of the treatment methods for accomplishing this is UV disinfection.

  7. National Recognition For WISE Water Practices 1/14/2020

    Denver Water and partners pull down big award for pioneering region-wide reuse project.

  8. Pros And Cons Of Tertiary RO Wastewater Recycling For Municipal And Industrial Organizations 10/15/2019

    Tertiary reverse osmosis (RO) wastewater recycling has become a suitable solution to augment water supplies to combat water scarcity across the world. RO desalination in tertiary wastewater processes has proven to provide a cost efficient way to reuse water for both municipalities and industrial organizations.

  9. 4 Benefits Of Utilizing Reverse Osmosis Wastewater Treatment For Reuse 8/19/2019

    When a municipality or business wants to reuse their wastewater, some applications require more treatment than others due to the quality of the wastewater. Many standard wastewater treatment systems consist of pretreatment, primary treatment, and secondary treatment stages. By the end of the secondary stage, a majority of the pollutants, solids, organics, inorganics, and metals have been removed or reduced. This is where reverse osmosis wastewater treatment can be utilized in a third stage process.

  10. Moving Forward On Desalination 7/31/2019

    A Q&A with scientist Jeff Urban, who explains forward osmosis and how Berkeley Lab is pushing the frontiers of this emerging technology
