Description

As the agency reported it.

This project proposes extended field testing of a high recovery batch reverse osmosis process (batch reverse osmosis) using innovative anti-scaling and antifouling electrically conducting membranes (active reverse osmosis) in comparison with conventional reverse osmosis membranes (passive reverse osmosis). The goal is to demonstrate active reverse osmosiss performance through a 6-month test at an oil and gas produced water site in california with a high total dissolved solids brackish groundwater with significant mineral scaling potential as the feed source. Such applications have challenging chemistries with propensity for various degrees of mineral scaling and organic fouling which current commercial membrane cannot sustainably address without significant amount of pre-treatment, limited recovery and consequently a very high cost. Each of batch reverse osmosis and active reverse osmosis technologies can significantly reduce the footprint, increase the freshwater recovery, minimize concentrate waste, and as a result, reduce capital and operating costs and environmental impacts of desalination, and enable cost effective resource recovery from mineral rich unconventional water resources, with the latter being an emerging trend in desalination industry.
