Reverse Osmosis Chemicals
Reverse osmosis is an efficient way of purifying water but operational efficiency can only be obtained if the plant and in particular the membranes are not kept clean. If this is not the case, membranes quickly become fouled result in lower output and ultimately resulting in the costly necessity of having to replace them. Various products are available which have been developed to combat the ...

Application of the membrane fouling simulator to determine biofouling potential of antiscalants in membrane filtration
In treatment of groundwater with reverse osmosis, the applied antiscalant can significantly contribute to the formation of biofouling, especially when legislation enforces the use of biodegradable, phosphorous-free products. As an alternative to extensive piloting, the use of the membrane fouling simulator (MFS) is proposed here to assess the biomass growth potential of different antiscalants. ...

Experiences with the conventional pretreatment system in the seawater reverse osmosis plant at Kalpakkam
A 1800 m³/day Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) plant was commissioned in October 2002 at Kalpakkam, India, as part of the Nuclear Desalination Demonstration Project (NDDP). The conventional pretreatment scheme was adopted consisting of a lamella clarifier, pressurised sand filter, activated carbon filter and cartridge filter. The dosing of pretreatment chemicals, ferrous sulphate and ...

Advancements in Scaling Calculations and an in depth look at Antiscalant dosing for stressed waters and high recovery systems
Abstract Over the past few decades the Reverse Osmosis (RO) industry has observed an increase in applications in challenging waters. Water sources that were never considered suitable for RO are now commonplace, including municipal waste streams, industrial waste, and even mining waste. Furthermore, regulatory restrictions, environmental obligations, solid waste expenses, and water supply ...

Preliminary evaluation of new green antiscalants for reverse osmosis water desalination
Supplying fresh water has become an important environmental and economic issue. Desalination with reverse osmosis (RO) represents an effective solution to meet the challenges of cleaning brackish water and seawater for drinking and industrial purposes. The principal problem of RO plant operation is the precipitation of low soluble salts (scaling). There are some well-known techniques to ...
