Ceramic membranes: smashing prospects
In a recent report on ceramic membranes, BlueTech Research reviewed the technology s rate of adoption in water and wastewater treatment applications. Drawing on that analysis the authors here look at how improvements in life-cycle costs are affecting that adoption and how recent innovations could drive ceramics’ market penetration further. This article first appeared in…

Algae: a tide of trouble
The water services provider at the industrial port at Sohar in the Oman has learned the hard way, how to combat the seasonal algal wave that can grind vital reverse osmosis desalination and other water treatment to a halt. Despite unprecedented assaults the notorious Red Tide has been tamed. This article first appeared in the…

Larger flowmeters speak volumes
The bigger the water distribution network the more costly any metering inaccuracy. But the bigger the meter, the greater the difficulty in ensuring its accuracy. The author explores the surety offered by various measures taken to calibrate large flow meters. This article first appeared in the issue of Desalination & Water Reuse magazine.

The word on the sheet: biofilm has a script
How could an understanding of the chemical language of microbes unlock the enigma of biofouling? Studies looking at the communications between bacteria that lead to the build up of biofoulant reveal opportunities to scramble the messages and possibly remove this thorn in the side of membrane desalination. This article first appeared in the May 2015…

Microbubble membrane cleaning stems fouling
In spring 2014 we published an article on how Genesys developed its microbubble-based membrane cleaning system. In this follow up Genesys presents results from a case study of the technology in a wastewater reverse osmosis plant. This article first appeared in the February 2015 issue of Desalination & Water Reuse magazine.

Desalination with distinction
IDE Technologies (IDE) designed and operates three of the largest seawater reverse osmosis desalination plants in the world each with a cost per cubic metre of produced water among the lowest globally. This it accomplished despite a fourfold variability in the electricity price and demanding regulatory limits on boron, chloride and sodium concentrations. The key…

One day left to register for the online masterclass – RO Membrane Fouling Control
If you have ever experienced, or if you experience in the future, a recurring, long-term, expensive, time-consuming, exasperating problem with an RO unit, it will likely be due to fouling by living and/or non-living particles. The most common fouling across all industries with RO units operating on surface water sources is biofouling/organic fouling.
