Abstract
A pilot study was conducted to determine reverse osmosis feasibility on untreated and treated secondary effluents. Six commercially designed reverse osmosis pilot units, with 3,000 to 10,000 GPD nominal capacities and different module concepts, were tested. Post treatment of secondary effluent feeds, using alum clarification, sand filtration, granular activated carbon treatment, chlorine additions and pH adjustment, in different combinations improves reverse osmosis performance and significantly extends useful membrane life. Membrane fouling occurs despite post secondary effluent treatments. Enzymatic detergent solutions were moderately effective as membrane rejuvenation treatments. Tubular and spiral wound module concepts had the best overall performance. Costs are estimated.
