About 18 months ago, I wrote about an MIT project in which computer models demonstrated that graphene could act as a filter in the desalination of water through the reverse osmosis (RO) method. RO is slightly less energy intensive than the ...
Xylem has won a contract valued at approximately $2.75 million to supply Xylem's Wedeco-brand ultraviolet (UV) technologies to a wastewater treatment facility in the Vigo region of southwest Spain. With a treatment capacity of 147,000 ...
Wabag Wassertechnik AG has been awarded two new contracts for its BIOPUR biofiltration process in Switzerland and Spain. The first project is in Windisch, Switzerland, which is in a nature conservation area, while the second is in a cliff ...
Natural organic matter (NOM) in seawater can cause biofouling problems in seawater facilities. This work reports on the use of a biofilter to prevent biological activity, and thus reduce the biofilm formation capacity downstream by more ...

The removal of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and other micropollutants from treated wastewater has been compared using reverse osmosis and ozonation. Ozone/biofiltration and RO are comparable for micropollutant removal, ...
