In this study, titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4), titanium sulfate (Ti(SO4 )2 ) and ferric chloride (FeCl3) flocculation as a pretreatment to seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) were investigated. Their ability to remove turbidity, seawater organic matter (SWOM) and controlling the feed water quality of SW

Australia is the driest continent on earth and despite this the installed desalination capacity is still around 1% of the total world’s desalination capacity. This paper reviews the main seawater issues considered in every desalination project—the history, the present situation and the future of des

Boron (B) is an important element which should be considered seriously for drinking water production. Boron removal from seawater using nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes was investigated. Increase in salt concentration effects boron removal positively when RO membranes and negat

In order to evaluate the performance of a newly developed dynamic state membrane bio-reactor (MBR) with MIA, a full-scale plant with the capacity of 210 m3/d was operated for treating sewage. Due to the MIA, the effect of residual oxygen could be completely removed during the non-aeration period and

In biological treatment processes, the effluent contains some portion of organic material originating from soluble microbial products (SMP) that is closely related with extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), although the biological activity is maximized. These SMP should be considered important t
