Abstract

This project documented and compared the actual lifecycle costs and process performance of the two most common membrane processes used for removing salt from recycled water: reverse osmosis membranes and microfiltration pretreatment and electrodialysis reversal membranes. This research is intended to assist engineers, utility managers, and planners in selecting a membrane process for desalting recycled water.

Originally funded as WERF project Desal-08-17.
