Water Membranes White Papers and Case Studies

91. Top Monitoring Tools For Membrane Bioreactors 11/10/2016

    With increasing pressure on water resources, efficient and reliable wastewater treatment systems are crucial. Plants are searching for solutions that offer a smaller footprint and higher quality effluent. Over the last 15 years, membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have become increasingly common in both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants and help mitigate against effluent suspended solid issues. These systems combine a membrane filter with an activated sludge process where microorganisms are able to thrive and break down contaminants.

92. Global Pharmaceutical Company EnviQ Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) 11/4/2016

    The Serum Institute is a global pharmaceutical company that is one of the world’s largest producers of vaccines. The Institute was planning an expansion to their manufacturing plant in Pune, India, that resulted in an additional water requirement for the plant’s needs.

93. Industry Innovations For Reverse Osmosis Concentrate: A Challenging Liability Becomes A Valued Asset 9/22/2016

    Unlike dead-head filtration characterized by a single flow in and out, both reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) technologies are unique in that they produce two effluent streams, a lower TDS (total dissolved solids) permeate and a higher TDS concentrate.

94. New Filters To Combine Processes And Cut Down Costs 9/9/2016

    Reverse osmosis is one of the most energy-intensive, and therefore costly, steps in wastewater treatment. A newly developed nanofilter may change that.

95. Seeking Alternatives For Potable Reuse 8/19/2016

    A recent project by the Water Environment & Reuse Foundation in Tucson, AZ, sought to vet more affordable and environmentally-friendly technologies to achieve potable reuse, with promising results.

96. Industrial Water Treatment For Inorganic Contaminants: Biological Treatment Processes 8/9/2016

    This article is the fifth in a series on industrial water treatment focusing on inorganic contaminants. While regulatory limits are being established, the process of identifying a cost-effective treatment process should be undertaken. Potential water treatment processes for inorganic contaminants can be grouped into three categories: physical, chemical, and biological. This article will describe the biological treatment technologies that may be considered.

97. Six Water Startups Look To Transform The Industry 8/3/2016

    The Water Council has announced the latest startup companies to win access to its BREW Accelerator program, designed to help each company bring its innovative water tech to the market.

98. 10 Technologies And Breakthroughs From ACE16 7/14/2016

    This year's Annual Conference and Exposition (ACE16), held by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) from June 19 to 22, was the first following the tragedy of Flint — a time when the drinking water industry is under intense scrutiny.

99. From Raw Lake Water To Excellent Filtrate Quality Suitable For Drinking Water 7/12/2016

    CH2M contacted Toray Membrane USA with an invitation to pilot our pressurized TIPS hollow fiber UF membrane module for the City of Sherman Texas 10 MGD Expansion Project. This document summarizes the findings of this pilot study program.

100. The Cure For Membrane Biofouling 5/23/2016

     After reviewing multiple methods, engineers and operators at a Pennsylvania water reclamation facility discover a winning pretreatment formula for reverse osmosis biofouling control.
