This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of low-pressure membranes, microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF), has increased dramatically over the last decade in response to new drinking water regulations focused on increased control of pathogens and disinfection byproducts (DBPs), and reduced membrane costs. The overall goal of this project was to investigate the specific contributions of the different types of natural organic matter to MF / UF fouling with the intent to develop a surrogate test or index that could be used to predict NOM fouling at low cost through a combination of source water characterization and rapid bench-scale testing.

This book was released on 2008-10-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low-pressure (LP) membrane use has increased dramatically over the last decade in response to more stringent pathogen-related drinking water regulations, water reclamation and the need for more effective reverse osmosis pretreatment, and from dramatically reduced membrane costs. More cost-effective and reliable operation of LP membrane systems is constrained, however, by fouling, in particular fouling by NOM. NOM fouling is poorly understood because of both the complexity and types of NOM that exists in natural sources and wastewater effluent and NOM-membrane interactions. This report is available as a Pay-Per-View item only. NOM exists in three primary forms (allochthonous, autochthonous, and effluent-derived), with a variety of components having differing fouling tendencies. LP membranes comprise hollow fibers of differing polymeric materials, with a range of properties that likewise influence fouling propensity. Fouling management strategies (backwash, air scrub, chemical cleaning) employed with LP membrane systems differ from supplier to supplier. This, combined with a number of the methods used to reduce NOM levels prior to membrane treatment (e.g., coagulation, clarification), further complicate the understanding of NOM fouling. The overall goal of this project was to investigate the specific contributions of the different types of natural organic matter (NOM) to microfiltration/ultrafiltration (MF/UF) fouling. The intent was to develop a surrogate test or index that could be used to predict NOM fouling at low cost through a combination of source water characterization and rapid bench-scale testing. The research incorporated bench-, pilot- and full-scale investigations. Testing was conducted with four source waters, selected to capture the fouling characteristics of the three primary types of NOM. Bench testing use a stirred, cell apparatus and three flat sheet membrane types, representing commercially dominant MF and UF hollow fiber membranes of the same polymer types. Hollow fiber bench testing used two PVDF and two PES membranes operated in both sequential and alternating filtration/backwash mode. Pilot testing included PVDF MF and UF and PES UF systems operated on three of the four source waters and incorporated a host of fouling management strategies. Full-scale investigations captured operating data from several plants having differing levels and types of NOM.

Download or read book Organic geochemistry of natural waters written by E.M. Thurman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1985-04-30 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written as a reference on organic substances in natural waters and as a supplementary text for graduate students in water chemistry. The chapters address five topics: amount, origin, nature, geochemistry, and characterization of organic carbon. Of these topics, the main themes are the amount and nature of dissolved organic carbon in natural waters (mainly fresh water, although seawater is briefly discussed). It is hoped that the reader is familiar with organic chemistry, but it is not necessary. The first part of the book is a general overview of the amount and general nature of dissolved organic carbon. Over the past 10 years there has been an exponential increase in knowledge on organic substances in water, which is the result of money directed toward the research of organic compounds, of new methods of analysis (such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry), and most importantly, the result of more people working in this field. Because of this exponential increase in knowledge, there is a need to pull together and summarize the data that has accumulated from many disciplines over the last decade.
Download or read book Particulate and Organic Matter Fouling of Seawater Reverse Osmosis Systems written by Sergio G. Salinas Rodriguez and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-09-28 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characterizing bulk organic matter in seawater and bay water by various analytical techniques and linking these measurements with fouling in membrane systems. Furthermore, it aimed for the development of the Modified Fouling Index - ultrafiltration (MFI-UF) at constant flux filtration as an accurate test to measure the particulate fouling potential of a feed water and predict the rate of fouling in reverse osmosis systems. A new semi-portable set-up has been successfully developed to perform MFI-UF tests at constant flux filtration. A significant effect of the filtration flux on the fouling potential was found. Consequences of this effect for reverse osmosis systems are that the fouling potential at low flux drops dramatically; for ultrafiltration systems it implicates that the rate of fouling increases at high fluxes. The observed effect of flux on the fouling potential has significant implications for fouling potential measurements. Deposition factors in RO systems varied between 0 and 1, depending on location and MFI pore size, which indicates differences in properties of the particles present. Fouling potential results in RO fouling rates of 0.2-1 bar/month depending on the pore size of the membranes used for MFI measurements. The fouling potential of the analysed raw waters is substantially reduced by conventional pre-treatment systems and ultrafiltration: for conventional pre-treatment 37 % - 74 % and ultrafiltration 60 % - 95 %, depending on the location and the MFI pore size.

Download or read book Fouling of Low Pressure Membranes by Municipal Wastewater written by Claudia Laabs and published by Logos Verlag Berlin. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes have a wide range of applications in the wastewater industry: they are used to polish wastewater treatment plant effluents or are directly integrated in the biological treatment process in the form of membrane bio-reactors (MBR). The major challenge of low-pressure membrane filtration remains the fouling of the membranes by organic matter which prevents an efficient operation by reducing the overall transmembrane flux and/or increasing the transmembrane pressure over time. This research investigates the fouling potential of municipal wastewater in low-pressure membrane filtration. Using bench-scale stirred cell experiments the principal organic foulants and the underlying fouling mechanisms are identified. Additionally, two MBR pilot plants are monitored over the course of one year in order to detect possible correlations between the feed water characteristics, operational parameters, and membrane fouling.
Download or read book Osmotically Driven Membrane Processes written by Hongbo Du and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-03-28 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osmotically driven membrane processes (ODMPs) including forward osmosis (FO) and pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) have attracted increasing attention in fields such as water treatment, desalination, power generation, and life science. In contrast to pressure-driven membrane processes, e.g., reverse osmosis, which typically employs applied high pressure as driving force, ODMPs take advantages of naturally generated osmotic pressure as the sole source of driving force. In light of this, ODMPs possess many advantages over pressure-driven membrane processes. The advantages include low energy consumption, ease of equipment maintenance, low capital investment, high salt rejection, and high water flux. In the past decade, over 300 academic papers on ODMPs have been published in a variety of application fields. The number of such publications is still rapidly growing. The ODMPs' approach, fabrications, recent development and applications in wastewater treatment, power generation, seawater desalination, and gas absorption are presented in this book.
