Wastewater Membranes Resources

  1. MBR Modules Help Achieve Sustainable Management Of Wastewater On Vancouver Island 4/29/2022

    The Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD) in Vancouver Island, Canada teamed with Toray to successfully install several membrane bio-reactor (MBR) systems updated with new technology to expand capacity.

  2. Nationwide Water Shortages Demand New Innovative Solutions In Clean Water 10/26/2021

    In the spring of 2019, U.S. government-funded research on watersheds revealed a dire outlook for the future of water availability in the United States. Between population growth and climate change, the study reports that “serious water shortages'' are likely to occur within the next 55 years.

  3. Domestic Wastewater Treatment In Telluride, CO 10/25/2021

    Last Dollar is a year-round residential community located just outside of Telluride, Colorado. The facility had been reliant on an aging treatment system that was failing quickly and needed immediate replacement to prevent operational fines. The current technology would not meet the new and more stringent effluent requirements in Colorado, so the project had to be completed quickly and within a tight budget. AquaWorks DBO provided the permitting and site engineering support to ensure the project was completed in 8 months from contract award to system operation.

  4. Winery Receives Green Certification With TITAN MBR 7/22/2021

    This prominent Napa County vineyard and winery received a prestigious green certification after committing to sustainable and environmentally-friendly technologies, including the installation of a dynamic MBR wastewater treatment system.

  5. Decentralized Wastewater Treatment In A Housing Development 5/11/2021

    Young’s Cove is a masterfully planned exceptional waterfront community situated in pristine Prince Edward County, on the shores of Lake Ontario. It has panoramic views, a children’s waterpark, miles of pathways, green spaces. It covers 7,000 feet of shoreline and fronts protected wetlands and preserves hundreds of acres of forest with birds and wildlife everywhere.

  6. Optimal Ultrafiltration Uses For Beverage And Dairy Companies 6/29/2020

    When you’re sipping on a cold soda or snacking on a creamy piece of cheese, you probably don’t really think about what went into making your food or beverage. Aside from the automated production-line machines, one of the most important things that goes into the making of any soda, juice, wheel of cheese, or gallon of milk is water. Producing beverages and dairy products uses substantial amounts of water within production processes.

  7. Mobile Home Park Installs Modular MBR System To Save Valuable Space 5/18/2020

    Bay Meadows is a year-round RV and mobile home park located along the shores of Lake Ontario. The facility had been reliant on subsurface treatment, however current regulatory requirements eliminated the option of continuing with that approach. In addition to high bedrock, the lack of available area due to design flow values meant a more sophisticated sewage treatment solution would be necessary.

  8. Low-Fouling RO Tech Keeps Replacement Costs Down At Wastewater Reuse Plants 4/17/2020

    By using Toray's low-fouling polyamide composite membranes, the WTPs at the AMATA estates operated the RO systems for more than five years before requiring replacement of the RO elements. This low rate of replacement has considerably helped the end-user save operational and capital costs and is noted as one of the most successful wastewater reuse plants in Thailand.

  9. Cost-Effective Sludge Thickening Processor Using MBR Membrane Bioreactor 4/15/2020

    The Toray MBR modules helped a local utility achieve their goals of conserving water and meeting the Regional Water Quality Control Board's effluent standards (Title 22), so the reclaimed water can be used for irrigation and other reuse applications. 

  10. When To Replace Your RO Membrane 1/19/2020

    On the surface, it might seem that knowing when to replace the membrane elements in a reverse osmosis (RO) system would be simple. In attempting to keep it simple, many companies will use one or more of the following guidelines for replacing their membrane.
