The following reports have been recently published by the WateReuse Research Foundation:
Low Cost Treatment Technologies for Small Scale Water Reclamation Plants (WRF-06-008)
This study identifies and evaluates established and innovative technologies that provide treatment of flows of less than one million gallons per day. The report includes an extensive cost database, where the cost and operation data from existing small-scale wastewater treatment and water reuse facilities have been gathered and synthesized.
Oxidative Treatments of Organics in Membrane Concentrates (WRF-05- 010)
The use of membrane processes for wastewater treatment and reuse is rapidly expanding, especially the use of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. The goal of this study was to develop an oxidation process for removing organics in membrane concentrates. While previous projects have focused on issues associated with inorganic salts, utilities have few resources to treat organics or microbiological organisms present in membrane concentrates.
Reaction Rates and Mechanisms of Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) for Water Reuse (WRF-04-017)
The main objective of this study was to develop a better understanding of the water-based free radical chemistry in the destruction of organic microconstituents. The long-term goal of research of this nature is to provide the data necessary to develop kinetic models that describe the underlying chemistry for advanced oxidation process applications.
