Funded Activity Summary

An Optimal Integrated Immersed Membrane System as Pre-Treatment for Reverse Osmosis Desalination. This project will be useful for both coastal and inland areas of Australia. It will provide sustainable technology to meet the needs of water supply where the main sources are seawater and brackish water. Reverse osmosis (RO) is the dominant technology in water desalination and in the final polishing step in wastewater treatment for reuse. The novel pre-treatment proposed in this study is the key for the cost-effective and energy efficient operation of RO. This project will strengthen research links among Australian, European and USA universities, to come up with a forefront pre-treatment technology for RO desalination. The technology is of direct benefit to ongoing RO installations in Australia and also has significant export potential.
