Beckman, J. REVERSE OSMOSIS RENOVATION OF SECONDARY EFFLUENT. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/2-79/086 (NTIS PB293761), 1979.

Description:

A demonstration of the performance and economics of reverse osmosis treatment of municipal secondary effluent on a sufficient scale to project large plant costs was attempted. The desalted effluent was blended with additional secondary effluent and used for irrigation through an existing irrigation system. A plastic-lined evaporation pond was constructed for brine disposal during the project. This report covers a demonstration of reverse osmosis renovation of secondary effluent at the Southside Water Reclamation Facility of the City of Escondido, California.
