  1. Fractional Electrodeionization (FEDI) Technology For RO Permeate Polishing And Demineralization 5/5/2016

    Sabine Pass, a large LNG refinery in the U.S., required a membrane desalination solution to cater to its extensive process water needs in order to produce a large amount of liquefied natural gas for export.

  2. Industrial Water Treatment For Inorganic Contaminants: Physical Treatment Processes 5/3/2016

    This article is the third in a series on industrial water treatment focusing on inorganic contaminants. 

  3. Is Capacitive Deionization The Key To Desalination? 4/28/2016

    Capacitive deionization can remove ions, like salt, from water. With a lower energy cost than many other desalination methods, could it be the answer to drought?

  4. Zero Liquid Discharge Opens Up Opportunity For Forward Osmosis To Make Its Mark 4/11/2016

    While many companies and investors have struggled to make sense of an entry point into the massive water industry, seeds are consistently being sown for those that know how to monitor and enter intelligently.

  5. Membrane Fouling And Prevention: What Works And What’s New 3/28/2016

    An overview of the current state of pretreatment technology is presented alongside the latest advances and innovative techniques in the pipeline.

  6. CeraQ Ceramic Membranes Provide Robust Solution For Automotive Parts Manufacturing 3/23/2016

    An automotive parts manufacturing plant was using a polymeric membrane to remove oil from water it used to rinse parts. The rinse water contained between 6% and 7% oil and the customer wanted to remove >95% of the oil from the water so the water could be reused in the plant.

  7. In The Beginning… The Origin Of Membranes As Told By The Industry’s Seasoned Pioneers 3/17/2016

    In 2011, the American Membrane Technology Association (AMTA) embarked on an ambitious effort to preserve the history and evolution of the membranes industry. The project complimented a tradition of recognizing outstanding achievements in membrane technology and the awards extended to deserving recipients throughout the year.

  8. East Meets West: Capitalizing On Water Opportunity In Southeast Asia 3/7/2016

    The U.S. Department of Commerce’s (DOC) International Trade Administration is planning a July business development mission to Singapore, Vietnam, and the Philippines to introduce American technology firms to the countries’ burgeoning water markets.

  9. Dynamic Improvements In Low Pressure Membranes And System Design 1/20/2016

    We are programmed to believe that the word “fouled” is inherently bad, identifying something that is dirty, unclean, or contaminated.  But for those of us in the membrane industry, the physical presence of “foulants” simply confirms that our treatment was necessary and that our process is successfully producing a more pristine effluent.

  10. How To Handle Faster Membrane Fouling 1/8/2016

    New membranes are being equipped with the ability to handle higher flux operation, utilizing technology that allows for low transmembrane pressure, high salt rejection, and the wherewithal to take on more water. But the more a membrane is asked to do, the faster it will become fouled.
