MBR upgrades mean less maintenance and longer life
In recent years, MBR membranes have evolved to the point where they require less maintenance and at the same time have a longer useful life. An added benefit comes from the more advanced designs that consume significantly less energy and lower operating costs. The new Puron module from Koch Membrane Systems Inc (KMS) is a…

Large Diameter RO Desalination Elements
In recent years, increasing the diameter of spiral elements has been studied as a method of lowering the cost of membrane treatment. It has been shown that the installed cost of a reverse osmosis (RO) plant can be reduced by up to 27% using larger diameter elements.Large diameter elements provide savings in footprint and building…

Bureau pilot tests show MBR reclamation potential
Membrane bioreactor (MBR) is a proven technology for wastewater reclamation that combines biological treatment with membrane filtration to achieve high quality effluent. Montgomery Watson Harza (MWH) and the city of San Diego have been conducting research on the MBR process since 1997 through various research projects. This article is derived from the report entitled Evaluation…
