Source Water Desalination

  1. MBR Wastewater Treatment System For Bay Meadows Community 5/28/2019

    newterra developed a modular membrane bioreactor (MBR) sewage treatment system for Bay Meadows Park - a year-round mobile home/RV park in Ontario, Canada. newterra was selected by Gunnell Engineering to provide a compact, self-contained treatment system to meet the extremely stringent limits required for surface discharge. The low maintenance system was engineered, built, installed and commissioned by newterra in less than 20 weeks, and is allowing the park to expand the number of sites on its property.

  2. Worldwide Business With Kathy Ireland Interview 5/28/2019

    Worldwide Business with Kathy Ireland® recently showcased an interview with Tom Vossman, CEO of newterra, Ltd., leaders in decentralized water treatment solutions. Originally aired on January 21, 2018, at 5:30 pm (EST) on Fox Business Network.

  3. Modular Treatment Systems 5/22/2019

    With the high cost of infrastructure replacement and demands for more stringent environmental standards, newterra modular treatment systems are driving the adoption of decentralized solutions. Our packaged sewage treatment plants minimize collection network requirements, reduce pumping costs, and deliver reuse quality effluent. 

  4. With Massive Federal Investment, Desalination May Cure Ongoing Drought 1/21/2019

    The latest solution for national water scarcity may seem like a major technical challenge, but with a nine-figure investment and federal backing, it could be a gamechanger.

  5. Trouble In Paradise, And A Plan To Alleviate It 12/4/2018

    While San Diego has a reputation for beautiful weather in a sunny seaside setting, its growing population in the southernmost area of rain-starved California is a recipe for trouble in paradise. That challenge has spurred the creation of Pure Water San Diego — a multi-phase, multi-year program with the goal of using recycled water for up to one-third of San Diego’s water supply by the year 2035.

  6. Desalination In The Caribbean 10/29/2018

    More than 7,000 islands of the Caribbean Archipelago are scattered over a million-square-mile area between North and South America. Some smaller islands are naturally dry, but some volcanic islands — like Grenada and St. Lucia — are well forested and provide significant water catchment to support spring water and surface water. But, as populations, agriculture, and industry grow, desalination is becoming more attractive as a water source throughout the entire region.

  7. Long-Term Performance And Boron Rejection Of LG SWRO Membranes In Malta Desalination Plants 9/4/2018

    Malta is an archipelago of three islands situated in the Mediterranean Sea, around fifty miles south of Sicily. There are no rivers of any significance on the islands, and the sparse annual rainfall is only about 500 mm. In order to bridge the gap between supply and demand, Malta has long ago started desalination of seawater. The technologies were initially based on evaporation. In 1981 the Government decided to invest in RO desalination capacity.

  8. The Best Solution For Decentralized Water Treatment 6/4/2018

    For years, centralized water and wastewater treatment facilities have been the norm. Large treatment plants typically provided the most cost-effective solution, due to economies of scale. However, new technology is tipping the scales, as decentralized treatment solutions are providing improved treatment at reduced costs.

  9. What To Know About Water Quality Analysis For Reverse Osmosis 5/23/2018

    Reverse osmosis (RO) has become a widely utilized treatment process for diverse applications such as medical and laboratory research, desalination, and treatment of industrial wastewater and municipal water/wastewater. Because of its widespread use and technically advanced nature, a variety of quality parameters should be monitored by those treatment operators who utilize it.

  10. Retrofitting Malta Desalination Plants With Thin Film Nanocomposite (TFN) SWRO Membrane 2/14/2018

    Malta is an archipelago of three islands situated in the Mediterranean Sea, around fifty miles south of Sicily. There are no rivers of any significance on the islands, and the sparse annual rainfall is only about 500 mm. There is a water deficit in Malta. It occurs especially in summer when there is a great demand from the farmers for their irrigation and from the tourism sector.
