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

水处理及生产用反渗透膜复合污染的预处理选择研究。世界范围内公认，污垢是用于生产、净化和水处理的反渗透装置运行的主要障碍。该项目旨在研究复合污染的预处理方案，复合污染是RO装置中存在的主要污染类型，同时使用模型给水系统和实际现场水。项目成果是了解和制定预处理策略，并利用这些策略开发混合预处理技术。该项目将对水资源生产产生重大影响，其结果将对澳大利亚乃至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.
