Title: RO Membrane Pretreatment, presented by Ken Robinson, Avista Technologies, at Electric Utility Chemistry Workshop, June 7-9, 2011, Champaign, Illinois

RO Membrane Pretreatment Ken Robinson, Avista Technologies Pretreatment continues to be a subject that turns up on a daily basis when dealing with RO (Reverse Osmosis) process. Even though pretreatment requirements are well established for RO, the power utility market as a whole tends to see more of these issues as compared to other industries. Part of the reason for this trend is that feed water supplies tend to originate from surface sources while other factors tend to be more directed at equipment and design specifications. This presentation will focus on a number of pretreatment strategies that various power utilities have dealt with over the course of the last couple of years. RO system cases involving softening, coagulation, ultrafiltration, and media filtration will be covered along with RO process issues such as scaling, filtration, and biogrowth. In each of these cases, solutions will be presented on how to best mitigate the problems and show how analytical techniques can be used to fine tune and minimize the impact of the problems.
