The removal of particulate matter and dissolved organic matter from seawater by the use of biofiltration was investigated. Granular activated carbon (GAC) and anthracite were used as biofilter media at two different filtration velocities. Filtrate quality was measured in terms of silt density index

Hybrid processes combining fibre filter with deep bed filtration process such as (i) fibre filter and sand filter, (ii) fibre filter and anthracite and (iii) fibre filter and dual media filter were investigated as pre-treatments to SWRO. Seawater was drawn from Chowder Bay, Sydney. The effect of dif

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

Among the membrane processes, membrane bioreactor (MBR) technologies are becoming an innovative and promising option for wastewater treatment and reuse. In this study the performance of the submerged membrane bioreactor was studied with an addition of MPE50, and it was compared against a sponge subm
