International Online Symposium: Pretreatment for Reverse-Osmosis Seawater Desalination
PRETREATMENT
FOR REVERSE-OSMOSIS SEAWATER DESALINATION
International Online Symposium
30th
April – 17.00 to 20.00 GMT (also available on-demand at a time
convenient to you)
Expert speakers
include:
- Dr Mark Wilf, RO Technology, USA, author and consultant on membrane technology
- Dr Graeme Pearce, Membrane Consultancy Associates, UK, author and consultant on membrane technology
- Boris Liberman, CTO Vice President, IDE Technologies, Israel, designer of seawater RO systems
The symposium
features 3 short one hour interactive sessions. You will be able to view
speakers PowerPoint slides online and listen to an audio stream of their
presentation too, there will also be ample time to submit your own
questions. Sessions will examine:
Biological
Fouling
- Microorganisms in seawater and their importance in biofilm development
- Understanding how flux and crossflow velocity affects biofilm formation in RO
- RO and Concentration Polarization and its effect on biofilm formation
- Importance of TEP Precursors in harmful algal blooms and biofilm formation
- Importance of pretreatment in controlling biofilm development
Scaling and Mechanical and Chemical Control Methods
- The causes of scaling
- Mechanical systems - DAF, multimedia etc
- Optimizing chemical use to prevent scaling
- DAF designs for algal bloom control
- Membrane or mechanical pretreatment - or both?
Membrane Pretreatment/Environmental Protection
- Membrane pretreatment systems
- Ultrafiltration (UF)/Microfiltration (MF) fundamentals
- Recent developments in membrane pretreatment
- Applications and Performance
- Designing RO systems for minimum environmental impact
