Membrane Processes for Water Reuse

COST-EFFECTIVE MEMBRANE SOLUTIONS FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER REUSE APPLICATIONSWritten by a water and wastewater industry expert with more than 35 years of experience, this book describes how membrane technology can be used alone, coupled with aerobic or anaerobic processes, or as integrated membrane systems to process treated municipal effluent or industrial wastewater for discharge, recycle, or reuse.After reviewing chemistry fundamentals and basic principles, Membrane Processes for Water Reuse covers microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, and membrane coupled bioprocesses. The design, sizing, and selection of membrane technologies for water recycling and reuse applications is discussed in detail. Wastewater reuse case studies and example problems illustrate the concepts presented in this practical, authoritative guide.Coverage includes: Water reuse overviewWater qualityBasic concepts of membrane filtration processesLow pressure membrane technology--microfiltration and ultrafiltrationDiffusive membrane technologies--nanofiltration and reverse osmosisMembrane-coupled bioprocessDesign of membrane systems for water recycling and reuseFuture trends and challenges
