An economic study was conducted to evaluate the costs of fluoride removal by electrodialysis on the basis of industrial and economic data. The investment and operating costs were estimated for an industrial plant with a capacity of 2200 m3/d water consumption for 50,000 per capita according to Moroc

For the expected installation and operation of additional seawater desalination plants, manpower is needed. Besides the financing and the manufacturing of these plants, the training of the future staff is a big challenge. It is assumed that in the MENA region each year more than 1000 people will hav

RO plant operators, end-users, membrane manufacturers and system suppliers have been facing two major problems since the advent of commercial membrane technology applications for water desalination utilizing reverse osmosis (RO) and other membrane processes: how to reliably monitor their membrane sy

A new membrane module concept, the submerged hollow fibre membrane, has been widely accepted for the wastewater membrane bioreactor. This paper focuses on operational considerations and design aspect of the submerged hollow fibre membrane module. Experiments with both crossflow and ‘dead-end’ submer

When using NF/RO membranes in large-scale (drinking) water applications a stable operation of the installation is required to minimize costs. Fouling of membranes will cause an increase in costs due to an increased energy demand, additional labor and costs for cleaning and a shorter lifetime of the
