SWRO concentrates for more efficient wastewater reclamation

Ultrafiltration membrane bioreactor for urban wastewater reclamation

A 162-day pilot-scale operation for reclamation of urban wastewater was studied by using an ultrafiltration membrane bioreactor (UMBR). Performance of the UMBR was investigated with a sludge retention time (SRT) of 5, 15, and 30 days, a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 5 h, and membrane flux between 75 and 150 l m−2 h−1, respectively. It was observed that the highest sludge concentration in th...

Evaluation of reclamation technologies for wastewater reuse

Reclamation and reuse of wastewater require the use of tools that minimize risks to health and natural ecosystems. There are various types of such tools, among which HACCP (hazard analysis and critical control points) and barrier systems are gaining importance. The research reported here aims to determine and evaluate the most efficient combinations of different treatment systems—barriers—for t...

Specific Options in Biological Wastewater Treatment for Reclamation and Reuse

Control of endotoxins and their fate during wastewater reclamation

Potable reuse is one of the alternatives to approach water sustainability and it is gaining widespread acceptance all over the world due to increasing stress on water resources (Rodriguez et al. 2009). As water reclamation and potable reuse is a viable option, constituents that might threaten human health must be considered seriously. Endotoxins, interchangeably named Lipo-polisccharide (LPS), ...

Novel Wastewater Reclamation Technology Meets Environmental and Business Challenges

In the relentless pursuit of Moore’s Law, Intel’s Technology Development cycle results in a new semiconductor production process every two years. As this continuous cycle of new products moves from conception to market, so do the innovative environmental solutions designed to meet Intel’s philosophy of environmental excellence. Intel’s success in design-forenvironment (DFE) is widely recognized...
