Wastewater Membranes Resources

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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. 

  7. In The BREW Tank, Everyone's A Winner 10/26/2015

    The BREW Tank was a series of brief product pitches in the vein of television’s popular reality competition “Shark Tank.”

  8. Will Zero Liquid Discharge Save Forward Osmosis? 9/10/2015

    While increasing patents indicate potential forward osmosis (FO) applications that may generate opportunities for new FO products, a new BlueTech Research Insight Report explores the reasons why FO remains a niche technology.

  9. Methadone In The Water: What's The Real Risk? 8/28/2015

    An environmental study made headlines this spring as it drew a distinct parallel between the growing PPCP epidemic and a poisonous disinfection byproduct (DBP) making its way into drinking water.

  10. Reaching Zero Liquid Discharge: A Starter's Guide 8/26/2015

    Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems employ cutting-edge technologies to minimize water use within a given industrial facility and maximize the reuse of its processed wastewater. In the perfect ZLD system, no effluent ever leaves the factory, savings are immense, discharge and reuse requirements are met with ease, and the praise of conservation groups is bestowed fervently.
