WATER MEMBRANES RESOURCES

• Rural Water Treatment Plant Reduces TTHMs And HAA5 With Ion Exchange

  Both rural and urban water systems experience dissolved organic carbon (DOC) — a precursor to halogenated organic compounds like total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and haloacetic acids (HAA5) — in source water. However, rural systems often struggle to find treatment options suited for smaller scale operations and budgets.

• 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.
• Silica Fouling In Reverse Osmosis Systems: Prevention And Treatment

  The control of silica fouling in reverse osmosis systems is crucial for maintaining system performance efficiency and longevity. It prevents costly downtime and membrane damage. This article provides practical knowledge on silica scaling in RO systems, its challenges, and effective control strategies.
• PVDF Ban: The Vitally Needed Catalyst For Accelerating Ceramic Membrane Adoption

  As Europe edges closer to regulating the production of PVDF membranes — key contributors to the toxic PFAS, 'forever chemicals' — the water industry finds itself at a critical crossroads.

• RO Membranes' Protection at Aquapolo Ambiental Water Reuse Project, Brazil

  Discover how Aquapolo Ambiental tackled RO membrane biofouling with HOD™ UV technology, achieving 30-35% longer membrane life, reduced chemical use, and enhanced water reuse efficiency.

• RO Protection At Trimble County Power Station, US

  Read about how the installation of the HOD UV technology has been a viable non-chemical means for biological control and membrane protection for Trimble County.

• Reducing Wastewater Hauling Through An Advanced Membrane Treatment Technology

  Hauling wastewater is one of the most expensive and least sustainable means of managing wastewater, significantly impacting the environment through carbon emissions, and drastically increasing operational costs. As industries strive to meet environmental and economic goals, finding sustainable wastewater treatment methods is needed — now more than ever.
• PFAS Technology Options Provide Water Treatment Solutions

  Per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) continue to dominate the conversation as an emerging contaminant of concern due to their potential for adverse human health effects and continued regulation. This group of chemicals can be found in a wide variety of consumer products and drinking water.
• Tackling The Challenges Of Desalination For Water Crisis Solutions

  Desalination plants across the globe are turning seawater into fresh drinking water. Yet this solution is not as simple or flawless as it sounds. The process has its own set of hurdles, such as high costs and environmental impacts. So what makes us keep chasing after desalination despite the challenges?
