DESALINATION RESOURCES

• Reclaiming Water From Contaminated Brine Can Increase Water Supply And Reduce Environmental Harm

  People around the globe are trying to figure out how to save, conserve, and reuse water in a variety of ways, including reusing treated sewage wastewater and removing valuable salts from seawater. But for all the clean water they may produce, those processes leave behind a type of liquid called brine. I’m working on getting the water out of that potential source, too.

• Breakthrough Recyclable Polyimide Membranes Transform Wastewater And High-Salinity Water Treatment

  Researchers have developed polyimide-based membranes for membrane distillation (MD) that overcome three persistent issues in membranes for water treatment and gas separations: the need for pore-forming chemicals that prevent recycling, performance degradation due to pore wetting and fouling, and the inherent trade-off between high water flux and selectivity.

• Cut Costs, Cut Timelines: Rethink Your Next Water Project

  Small municipalities and industrial sites face constant pressure: deliver safe, stable water with limited resources and tight deadlines. Traditional on-site construction can stretch project schedules by months and introduce quality and cost risks. By shifting much of the fabrication off-site, these risks are dramatically reduced.

• From The War Of Currents To The Water Grid: Lessons In Infrastructure, Innovation, And Integration

  How Edison vs. Tesla shapes today's approach to sustainable water systems.

• Megadroughts Are Here To Stay, And U.S. Water Utilities Need To Adapt

  Researchers warn that California and other states affected by megadroughts — periods of drought lasting 20+ years — will have to accept this as the new normal. That means rethinking the water cycle and finding new, more sustainable water sources.
• Redesigning Brine Diffusers: Optimizing Brine Dispersion Performance At The Hadera Desalination Plant

  This article explores how IDE Technologies leveraged advanced in-house simulation capabilities to deliver a revised brine diffuser design, significantly improving both environmental outcomes and operational efficiency.

• RO Membrane Protection For A Desalination Plant In Mejillones, Chile

  Read about a seawater desalination plant that presented with several performance issues and chose the HOD UV system to control biofouling on the RO membranes.

• New Research Could Extend Membrane Life And Lower Desalination Costs

  As water-scarce regions clamor for answers, developments in membrane anti-scaling bring desalination closer to viability.
• The Benefits And Challenges Of Desalination

  Leaning on a wealth of experience, an engineer lays the groundwork for successful, cost-effective desalination projects.
• At The Waterfront Of ESG And Environmental Responsibility

  Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policy can yield a powerful outcome when integrated into a corporate strategy. Though strategizing and rolling out this assessment can be time- and resource-intensive, when done correctly, companies will realize several benefits in the short and long term.
