The Study of Pretreatment Options for Composite Fouling of Reverse Osmosis Membranes Used in Water Treatment and Production

水处理和生产用反渗透膜复合污染的前处理方案研究全世界都认识到，污垢是用于生产、净化和处理水的反渗透装置运行的主要障碍。本项目的目的是通过使用模型进料系统和实际现场水，研究反渗透装置中存在的主要污垢--复合污垢的前处理方案。项目成果是理解和制定前处理战略，并利用这些战略开发一种混合前处理技术。该项目总体上将对水生产产生重大影响，其结果将对澳大利亚国内和全球的水处理产生深远影响。

The Study of Pretreatment Options for Composite Fouling of Reverse Osmosis Membranes Used in Water Treatment and Production. It is recognised worldwide that fouling is a major impediment in operation of Reverse Osmosis units used for production, purification and treatment of water. This project is aimed at studying pre-treatment options for composite fouling which is the main type of fouling present in RO units by using both model feed systems and actual field water. The project outcomes are to understand and develop pre-treatment strategies and to use those to develop a hybrid pre-treatment technology. This project will significantly impact water production in general and its outcomes will have far-reaching implications in treatment of water both within Australia and globally.
