Synopsis
Under this Cooperative Agreement, the Cal Poly Pomona Foundation will assist
in development of Closed-Circuit Reverse Osmosis (CCRO). The intent of the
proposed project is to further development needed by Reclamation and
stakeholders, municipalities and academics, with a Reverse Osmosis process
that can remove most Contaminants of Emerging Concerns (CEC) yet produce
concentrate streams with increased CEC concentrations that require further
understanding. The discharge of CEC rich concentrate stream can increase plant
operational costs and thus provide a roadblock for the implementation water
reuse. The research areas of focus:
Understanding the fate and removal of CECs in any water reclamation
pilot study would respond to the lack of knowledge around CECs in
water reclamation
Reducing the discharge volume of concentrate stream is important since
it directly affects the cost of water reclamation process specially in
inland water reclamation plants
Researchers at Cal Poly Pomona Foundation will focus on the following tasks:
Literature studies will be performed to investigate and compile the
available data on CECs in CCRO, and similar high recovery membrane
setups
Development of an experimental procedure in regard to sample
collection, and laboratory analysis of CCRO's feed, product, and concentrate samples
Studying the fate and removal of CECs under different operatingconditions by commissioning, operation, and monitoring of the pilotCCRO, as well as sampling and sample analysis practices for watersamples for CEC study
Data collection and analysis for developing a comprehensive data logthat includes operating conditions and water quality
