Description
This project proposes to reduce the cost and environmental impact of desalination by preventing biofouling on reverse osmosis membranes and other key components through innovative biomaterials and biosignals intelligence solutions. A coating will be applied to reverse osmosis membranes and other components to prevent the adhesion of organisms. A hardware and software system will also be used to monitor biofilm growth in real-time and improve maintenance operations. Testing will be performed at reclamation's water quality improvement center in yuma, AZ.
