Wastewater Membranes Resources

  1. AltaPac™ AP-II Ultrafiltration Membrane Case Study 12/23/2014

    Cibola is a small community located in Southern Arizona along the Colorado River. With a growing population, the community decided to install a centralized water system to replace individual wells.

  2. Center Feed Drum Screen Is Mission Critical To MBR Plant 12/23/2014

    Huber’s center-feed drum screen was recommended as the best technology to prevent wash around that can ruin the membrane bioreactor at a WWTP in Las Vegas.

  3. Antiscalant Impacts Water Reclamation Efforts 12/17/2014

    Water reuse efforts in the West Coast are a priority and have the Ground Water Replenishing System (GWRS) of the Orange County Water District (OCWD) utilizing new technologies for water conservation. 

  4. Top 10 Technologies From WEFTEC 10/23/2014

    They did it again. Seemingly every year WEFTEC breaks records for size and attendance, and 2014 in New Orleans was no exception. There was a lot to choose from, but I picked my favorite innovations to highlight in what has become another annual tradition — Water Online’s “Top 10” from WEFTEC.

  5. Understanding Salt Solubility Reaps Benefits In RO System Performance 10/16/2014

    No matter where it originates, the feed water to downstream reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes contains some level of dissolved salts.

  6. Radioactive Waste: Can Membranes Reduce The Fear Factor? 10/1/2014

    It’s no wonder that the word "radioactive" scares people. I remember Chernobyl. I was raised on The Simpsons, with its bumbling plant operators and three-eyed fish. I've followed the Fukushima tragedy closely. But, scary or not, nuclear power isn't going anywhere soon.

  7. Overcoming Difficult Conditions, Salty Groundwater And Changes In Feedwater Quality 8/13/2014

    Kibbutz Reim had to convert salty groundwater into a high quality irriga­tion resource in this desert-like region. High recovery was essential to this customer, both because of the limited amount of groundwater available and the challenge of brine disposal from their inland location.

  8. High Recovery Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment For Industrial, Agricultural, And Municipal Applications 8/13/2014

    Industry accounts for nearly 60 percent of fresh water withdrawals in the developed world and agriculture consumes 70 percent of fresh water supplies globally, according to UNESCO.

  9. Pulp And Paper Manufacturer Significantly Increases Production While Complying With Discharge Limitations 8/5/2014

    A U.S.-based pulp and paper manufacturer required high purity process and boiler feed water. It was using water from a local well and treating it with a 150 gpm conventional RO system operating at 75% recovery, but this was creating 50 gpm of wastewater – over 26 million gallons per year.

  10. Closed Circuit Desalination Technology Provides Steel Manufacturer ROI In Less Than 60 Days 8/5/2014

    This leading rod and wire mill requires water for cooling steel and tools in its manufacturing process. Water used for cooling becomes contaminated with metals and lubricants and was therefore being disposed of as waste.
