Download or read book Impact of Biological Pre treatment on Membrane Fouling and Micropollutant Rejection in Water Recycling written by Chrystelle Ayache and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most reliable alternative solutions to water shortage and scarcity in urban areas is potable reuse of what would otherwise be considered "waste" water. The combination of low and high-pressure membrane processes is the favoured technology for direct and indirect potable water recycling due to the very high water quality produced. Despite the fact that membrane technology is well established, membrane fouling remains a major challenge affecting plant operation technically and economically. This thesis aims to contribute to the understanding of membrane fouling in water reuse by investigating the importance of the feed water quality on fouling development and the impact of the fouling on the treated water quality. In order to achieve these objectives, it was important to develop better knowledge of the impact of feed water quality on the membrane process. The organic composition of the effluents was successfully differentiated with the use of advanced analytical tools such as fluorescence excitation emission matrix (EEM) and liquid chromatography-organic carbon detection (LC-OCD). To evaluate water quality impact on membrane fouling, a membrane pilot unit consisting of ultrafiltration and a two stage reverse osmosis train was operated on two different sites. Different monochloramine dosages (0 to 2 mg/L NH2Cl) were applied and their impact on RO membrane performance was studied in order to provide recommendations for plant design.

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.

Download or read book Characterization of Fouling of Tertiary Membranes Treating Secondary Effluent of Domestic Wastewater written by Sara Abu-Obaid and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of membranes for tertiary treatment of wastewater has become more frequent over the years, especially with increasing interest in water reuse. Fouling prevents wider application of this technology as it creates operational challenges and increases costs. In tertiary applications, membrane feedwater can be variable in composition as this depends on the operating conditions of the implemented upstream biological treatment process. The tertiary membranes at the Keswick WPCP have demonstrated increased fouling in the spring season. Early spring marks the period that corresponds to low wastewater temperatures and elevated flows. This study sought to identify critical operating conditions leading to seasonal fluctuations in fouling of full-scale tertiary membranes. This was done through conducting a detailed historical review of membrane operational parameters for the year of 2016 and 2017. In addition, changes in potential foulants during high fouling periods were examined to obtain an improved understanding of the foulant characteristics. This was done through a sampling campaign that spanned multiple seasons of operation aiming to characterize feedwater quality during extreme operational conditions. The analysis of historical data revealed a relationship between membrane fouling and water temperature and flow, which was more than could be explained by changes in water viscosity with temperature. However, it was observed that the membrane fouling behavior significantly differed between the two year-long observation periods, with a peak in fouling indexes during March and April for 2016, and inconsistent fluctuations in fouling indexes between January and May for 2017. The differing patterns suggested a complex dependence of fouling on the operating conditions. Therefore, it was concluded that fouling depends on water temperature and flow, however, it was not possible to delineate the contributions of the individual variables as they were found to be highly correlated. The examination of feedwater characteristics data revealed that high membrane fouling rates correlated to an increase in biopolymer concentration of total DOC. The increase in biopolymer concentration was also correlated to a decrease in water temperature and increase in flow. However, no relationship was observed between TOC/DOC concentrations and temperature and flow. This could indicate that fouling of tertiary membranes due to seasonal variation in operational conditions is a result of alterations to the composition of organics in membrane feed, not the overall concentration of TOC/DOC. The examination of field data also revealed an increase in CST values during high fouling events. The increase in CST values correlated to the decrease in water temperature and increase in flow. Elevated CST values, which indicate worsened dewaterability of sludge, also correlated to higher biopolymer concentrations. Therefore, it was concluded that seasonal variations may result in the increased release of EPS by microorganisms. This leads to higher membrane fouling and worsened dewaterability of upstream sludge. The results of this study enhance the knowledge of fouling behaviour and foulant characteristics for tertiary membranes operating under stressed conditions. This knowledge will be of value when designing mitigation strategies to reduce the costs of these types of systems.

Download or read book Fouling and Cleaning in Osmotically Driven Membranes written by Martha Noro Chollom and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fouling is a phenomenon that occurs in all membrane processes. It is a complex problem, which limits the full operation of this technology. Fouling in pressure-driven membranes (PDMs) has been studied extensively, and the occurrence is well understood in that methods of mitigation have been proposed; however, limitations still occur for their full implementation. The use of osmotically driven membranes (ODMs) for water treatment is an emerging technology, which has shown some advantages such as low hydraulic pressure operation, high solute rejection and high recovery over PDMs. However, like in PDMs, fouling still presents a challenge. This chapter is aimed at evaluating the impact of fouling on the ODM performance, exploring the factors and mechanisms governing the fouling behaviour, developing approaches for mitigating fouling, elucidating the effect of membrane fouling and providing mitigation strategies as well as the causes of fouling in ODMs.
