Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane Scale Inhibitors
This technical guide considers the effects of scale on reverse osmosis membranes and plant efficiency and how the use of membrane scale inhibitors can improve overall performance and efficiency.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Process Water Treatment
This short paper looks at the use of reverse osmosis (RO) in process water treatment applications and considers the process itself, the use of reverse osmosis membranes, and factors affecting water quality and plant performance.
Reverse Osmosis Plant Start-Up Procedures
This short good practice guide looks at what needs to be considered when undertaking a reverse osmosis plant start-up procedure.
Membrane Separation Technologies – Techniques for Minimising Wastes & Effluents
Many industrial processes generate effluent streams that contain a mixture of substances. To reduce the cost of processing these streams, operators can remove the substances that they contain using a range of membrane separation technologies.
Reverse Osmosis Membrane Technology
Membrane technologies, including the process of reverse osmosis, are becoming increasingly important in many parts of the world where they are used extensively in a variety of applications including the desalination and purification of drinking water.
Microbes & Toxic Waste Removal – Vinyl Chloride & Dichloroethene
This short paper covers issues that surround the use of microbes in the removal of toxic waste, in particular, the removal of vinyl chloride and dichloroethene.
Water Efficiency – Textile & Leather Industries
This useful article looks at ways of improving water efficiency in the textile and leather industries, where savings of between 20-50% on water and effluent charges may be possible.
Water & Chemical Use in the Textile Industry
Identification and implementation of process improvements including the reduction of water and chemical usage, and wastewater and effluent costs is important for anyone involved in the textile industry.
Rainwater Harvesting, Water Savings & Conservation
This short paper deals with issues that surround rain water harvesting, savings and water conservation techniques. In the UK less than five percent of tap water is currently used for cooking and drinking, with each person using less than 17.15 litres per day for ‘life sustaining’ purposes.
Fruit & Vegetable Processing – Reducing Water & Wastewater Costs
Implementing changes that reduce the costs associated with water and wastewater in fruit and vegetable processing can have a positive impact on businesses operating in this sector at both an environmental and economic level.
