Membrane Treatment for Drinking Water and Reuse Applications:: A Compendium of Peer-Reviewed Papers

by Kerry Howe

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This compendium represents the first peer-reviewed book of its kind published by AWWA's Membrane Processes Committee (MPC). This book represents the best membrane-related papers from 2004 AWWA Annual Conference, 2004 Water Quality Technology Conference, and 2005 Membrane Technology Conference, which were all peer reviewed and author updated. Sections cover Section removal efficiencies, membrane performance, pretreatment strategies, regulatory issues, filtration guidance, studies on operations and integrated membrane systems, MBR (membrane bioreactors), and reuse issues.

Book News Annotation:

This work contains selected research and case study papers from the 2004 AWWA Annual Conference and Exposition, the 2004 AWWA Water Quality Technology Conference and Exposition, and the 2005 AWWA Membrane Technology Conference and Exposition. All areas of membrane technology and use for water treatment are represented, including MF, UF, NF, RO, contaminant removal, operations issues, pretreatment, fouling, residuals disposal, reuse, and regulations. Section I addresses the removal efficiency of membrane technologies. Sections II and III look at the impact and reliability of pretreatment strategies such as coagulation, ozone, and biological treatment, and describing strategies for characterizing or minimizing membrane fouling and scaling. Section IV offers an update on regulatory issues, including the membrane filtration guidance manual, membrane integrity, pressure-decay tests, and methods of quantifying virus removal. Section V presents pilot and case studies in integrated membrane systems, and Section VI examines the use of membrane bioreactors in wastewater reclamation and reuse. The final section looks at issues related to residuals and concentrate management. B&w and a few color images are included.
