Reducing Wastewater Hauling Through An Advanced Membrane Treatment Technology
Originally posted by Water Online | May 03, 2024 | Written by Chris Roy High-strength wastewater is often hauled away to be managed, treated, or disposed of off-site, especially in applications like manure digestate and landfill leachate treatment,…
Understanding Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD): Every Drop Counts
Water is a vital resource, and managing it responsibly is more important now than ever. Four billion people — almost two thirds of the world’s population — experience severe water scarcity for at least one month each year. As early as 2025, half of…
The Vital Role of Reverse Osmosis in Water Treatment
Reverse osmosis (RO), a revolutionary technology in water treatment, has been a vital solution in addressing the global water crisis. Used across various industries ranging from the treatment of wastewater to the desalination of seawater, RO plays a…
New Zwitterionic Reverse Osmosis Membrane - Not Your Typical RO
Reverse osmosis (RO) technology has been revolutionary in water treatment, assisting in the treatment of wastewater, the desalination of seawater, and much more. However, despite its effectiveness, traditional RO membranes are still prone to issues…
What is Superfiltration?
When considering which type of membrane to use, it can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking “inside the box” of established membrane categories. Salt rejection, molecular weight cut-offs, pore sizes, and flow rates are almost universally used…
Membrane Fouling - A Thing of the Past?
Membrane fouling has been a widespread challenge in filtration for decades, affecting the efficiency and lifespan of membrane systems used in water treatment, desalination, and other industrial processes. At its core, fouling involves the…
The Power of Zwitterions
For more than forty years, reverse osmosis (RO) has been a leading method for water purification, representing a significant advancement in sustainable water treatment. In a rapidly changing world, RO technology has struggled to keep up, seeing…
