Survey of High-Recovery and Zero Liquid Discharge Technologies for Water Utilities

Abstract

This is an essential reference for utilities considering high recovery processing for desalination projects. Consideration of high recovery and zero liquid discharge processing of municipal concentrate has been limited to site-specific paper studies as there are no high recovery municipal desalination plants due to high costs. The research conducted provides a systematic characterization of high recovery performance and costs over a range of size, salinity, and composition. Published by WERF, AwwaRF, and WateReuse Foundation (WRF-02-006a-01). 158 pages. Online PDF. (2008)

Originally funded as WERF project 03-CTS-17aCO.
