Water treatment process for membranes

InactiveUS6416668B1Effective and safe and reliable to produceCapital and operating costMembranesUltrafiltrationZeta potentialFiltration

This invention discloses a cost-effective process for separating contaminants and a wide-range of fouling material from surface water, ground water and from industrial effluents. Having undergone effective pre-treatment, the water can be purified further by using high-surface area spirally wound micro-filtration (MF), ultra-filtration (UF), nano-filtration (NF) or reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. High-quality potable water free from pathogen and other contaminants is thus produced at low-cost from the pre-treated surface water and ground-water. Conversely, pre-treated industrial effluents are further purified at a relatively low-cost using NF or RO membranes, thus producing water suitable for recycle or surface discharge. The process of this invention uses cationic inorganic and / or polymeric flocculants to coagulate and flocculate the water-borne colloidal matter (e.g. clays, iron hydroxides, naturally occurring matter (NOM's), etc.), followed by filtration using a multi-media filter, charge neutralization and reversal and final filtration using a 5-micron cartridge filter. These pre-treatment steps provides a good quality water having a low Silt Density Index and a significant negative zeta potential, thereby ensuring against irreversible chemical fouling of the spirally-wound membranes.

Efficient water treatment flocculant

InactiveCN101327976AEfficient purificationPromote generationWater/sewage treatment by flocculation/precipitationWater qualityHigh intensity

The invention relates to a high efficiency water treatment flocculant for drinking water and water treatment comprising a metal cation flocculant which is characterized in that the high efficiency water treatment flocculant also comprises a high efficiency adsorption component and an assistant medicament to be remixed, inwhich the weight ratio is: the high efficiency adsorption component 5-15%, the metal cation flocculant 50-85%, the assistant medicament 5-15%. The obvious characteristics of the invention are that each component can play the advantages of high intensity of the flocs of the inorganic flocculant and large flocs of the polymeric flocculant, overcomes the drawback of small flocs of the inorganic flocculant and low intensity of the flocs of the organic flocculant. The existence of the high adsorption component plays the action of adsorption of the organic compounds and heavy metal ion which are difficult to flocculat and precipitate, also plays the role of aid-coagulation, decoloration and deflavour. Thus the flocculant of the invention has advantages of good coagulation effect, large alum blossom, rapid settling velocity, good effluent quality and few dosage or the like.

Water desalination process and apparatus

ActiveUS20060060532A1Electrolysis componentsGeneral water supply conservationSolubilityWater desalination

A process and system for purifying water is disclosed. For example, in one embodiment, the process may be used to remove a divalent salt, such as calcium sulfate, from a water source in order to prevent the divalent salt from precipitating during the process. The water source, for instance, may be fed to an ion separating device, such as an electrodialysis device. In the electrodialysis device, an ion exchange takes place between the divalent salt and another salt, such as a monovalent salt to produce two concentrated salt streams that contain salts having greater solubility in water than the divalent salt. In one embodiment, the two salt streams that are produced may then be combined to precipitate the divalent salt in a controlled manner. During the process, various other components contained within the water feed stream may also be removed from the stream and converted into useful products. In one particular embodiment, the process is configured to receive a byproduct stream from a reverse osmosis process.

A method or process for treating wastewater containing high organics, silica, boron, hardness, and suspended and dissolved solids. The method includes degasifying the wastewater for the removal of dissolved gases and thereafter chemically softening the wastewater. After the chemical softening step, the wastewater is directed through a media filter or membrane which removes additional solids and precipitants. Thereafter the wastewater is directed through a sodium ion exchange that further softens the wastewater. The effluent from the ion exchange is directed through a cartridge filter and the effluent from the cartridge filter is directed through one or more reverse osmosis units. At a selected phase of the process, prior to the wastewater reaching the reverse osmosis unit or units, the pH of the wastewater is raised and maintained such that the pH of the wastewater reaching a reverse osmosis unit is at a pH greater than 10.5.
