21st Century Membrane Technology in the Water/Wastewater Process

Description

This program looks at the application and use of membrane technology to address the ever tighter regulatory requirements in both water and wastewaters. Through easy to understand graphics, terrific verbal presentation, and timely demonstrations, attendees will learn what common filtration methods look like today. Then we will define the various membranes in use today and see how technology is being applied in a variety of applications by removing bacteria, protozoa's, viruses, dissolved minerals, toxic elements, etc. Next we visit the various types of membranes used and see how membrane pore size and pressure requirements are inverse of each other. Next we will see how membrane technology today is helping wastewater treatment plants meet enhanced nutrient removal requirements. We will also learn what wastewater operational modifications are needed to include membranes. Finally, we will study case history users of membrane technology and see how it is applied.

Advanced Disinfection Technologies in the Water/Wastewater Process

Top↑

Description

This program starts by exploring a quick comparison of the three common chlorine types: Gas, Hypochlorite, and HTH (solid form of chlorine). We will look at alternative forms of disinfection/oxidation by using two component chemical and non-chemical systems. We will learn what happens when Chlorine is added to Ammonia (Chloramines), or Sodium Chlorite (Chlorine Dioxide) and how different both of these alternatives perform disinfection and byproduct issues. Next we look at the role Hydrogen Peroxide plays when combined with Acetic Acid (Peracetic Acid) and Ultraviolet (Advanced Oxidation Processes) as well as simple dissolved Iron. We introduce the role of Hydroxyl ions (OH~) in destroying pathogens, reducing and oxidizing troublesome byproducts and toxics like arsenic and cyanide in our waters and wastewaters.

Learning Objectives

  • Review alternative forms of disinfection/oxidation by using two-component chemical and non-chemical systems
  • Learn how different alternative chemicals perform as well as create disinfection and byproduct issues.
