Water Membranes White Papers and Case Studies

81. How To Control Filter Cake And Membrane Surface Fouling 3/20/2017

    Who wants cake? Certainly not treatment plant operators who employ microfiltration and ultrafiltration membranes, and here’s what they’re doing about it.

82. City Validates Innovative Reuse Treatment Options Without RO 3/13/2017

    Hollywood, Florida’s 55.5 MGD Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (SRWWTP) treats wastewater from Hollywood and six neighboring municipalities in the southern region of Broward County. Florida’s outfall rule requires the city to begin a process to largely eliminate the use of its ocean outfall and implement 20.4 MGD of additional reuse on an annual basis.

83. California And Potable Reuse's Sustainable Momentum 3/2/2017

    A new recycled water project in California is moving forward with plans to bolster the local drinking water supply.

84. Changing Membranes And The Future Of Water 2/7/2017

    A new fellowship has been awarded to students researching the latest advances in membrane technology and, perhaps, changing the future of water.

85. Dual Membrane Plant System Audit 2/6/2017

    How do you know if you are in control of microorganisms in your dual membrane plant? See how one water treatment plant performed a system audit using ATP technology to confirm microbiological treatment efficacy through each stage of the process.

86. Helping Small Systems Take A Big Stand Against PFCs 11/11/2016

    The U.S. EPA lends advice on how small systems can combat increasingly troublesome PFC contamination.

87. 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.

88. 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.

89. 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.

90. 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.
