Hybrid Forward Osmosis–Nanofiltration for Wastewater Reuse: System Design

Forward osmosis membrane fouling and cleaning for wastewater reuse

Membrane fouling properties and different physical cleaning methods for forward osmosis (FO) and reverse osmosis (RO) laboratory-scale filtration systems were investigated. The membrane fouling, with respect to flux reduction, was lower in FO than in RO when testing an activated sludge effluent. Crossflow velocity, air-scouring, osmotic backwashing and effect of a spacer were compared to determ...

Antilock Regenerative Braking System Design for a Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Hybrid electric vehicles employ a hydraulic braking system and a regenerative braking system together to provide enhanced braking performance and energy regeneration. In this paper an integrated braking system is proposed for an electric hybrid vehicle that include a hydraulic braking system and a regenerative braking system which is functionally connected to an electric traction motor. In the ...

Industrial Wastewater, Recycle and Reuse, Using Hybrid Process

Industrial wastewater contains a lot of pollutants and therefore needs special treatment processes. The treatment process may contain mechanical, biological, chemical, physical and physiochemical such as Coagulation – Flocculation process. The goal of this experimental work was to investigate the effects of coagulationflocculation and dissolved air flotation as a hybrid process of industrial wa...

Wastewater Treatment and Reuse

Wastewater reuse in Europe

In Europe the last two decades has witnessed growing water stress, both in terms of water scarcity and quality deterioration, which has prompted many municipalities to look for a more efficient use of water resources, including a more widespread acceptance of water reuse practices. This paper reviews European water reuse practices and sets out the map of the water reclamation technologies and r...
