Characterising biofilm development on granular activated carbon used for drinking water production
(2013-03-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyUnder normal operation conditions, granular activated carbon (GAC) employed in drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) for natural organic matter (NOM) removal can be colonised by microorganisms which can eventually establish ... -
Composition and reversibility of fouling on low-pressure membranes in the filtration of coagulated water: insights into organic fractions behaviour
(2016-11-01)
Article
Open AccessThe primary problem for the application of microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membrane technology is membrane fouling. Such is the case that understanding membrane fouling has become one of the major factors ... -
Fractionation and removal of dissolved organic carbon in a full-scale granular activated carbon filter used for drinking water production
(2013-03-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe removal of natural organic matter (NOM) and, more particularly, its individual fractions by two different GACs was investigated in full-scale filters in a drinking water treatment plant (DWTP). Fractionation of NOM was ... -
Hybrid sorption and pressure-driven membrane technologies for organic micropollutants removal in advanced water reclamation: A techno-economic assessment
(2020-11-10)
Article
Open AccessThe persistence of certain organic-micropollutants (OMP) in conventional wastewater and reclamation treatments represents a growing concern due to its associated uncertain effects on human health and the environment. This ... -
Pre-treatment of Llobregat River raw water through pressurised inside/out hollow fibre ultrafiltration membranes
(2013)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe feasibility of raw river direct ultrafiltration, as an alternative to conventional drinking water treatment plant pre-treatment, was investigated at prototype scale (May–October 2011). A highly variable and challenging ... -
Removal of dissolved organic carbon and bromide by a hybrid MIEX-ultrafiltration system: Insight into the behaviour of organic fractions
(Elsevier, 2016)
Article
Open AccessDissolved organic carbon (DOC) and bromide (Br-) are principal precursors in the formation of halogenated disinfection by-products resulting from chlorination of drinking water. Their effective removal from water represents, ... -
Reversibility of fouling on ultrafiltration membrane by backwashing and chemical cleaning: differences in organic fractions behaviour
(2016-05-20)
Article
Open AccessMembrane fouling is an inherent phenomenon in ultrafiltration (UF) membrane processes, making it necessary to periodically perform backwashes (BW) and chemical cleanings in place (CIP) to restore the initial permeability ... -
Techno-economic evaluation and comparison of PAC-MBR and ozonation-UV revamping for organic micro-pollutants removal from urban reclaimed wastewater
(Elsevier, 2019-06-25)
Article
Open AccessThe presence of sewage-borne Organic Micro-Pollutants (OMP) in Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) effluents represents an increasing concern when water is reclaimed for irrigation or even indirect potable reuse. During ... -
