| The Long Beach Water Department, EE&T, Inc., and the University of Nevada (UNR), Reno are engaged on an 18-month long project to better understand and optimize this technology. The UNR focus in this research project is on the theoretical basis for the dual NF concept and includes membrane characterization and bench-scale membrane performance. The objectives of this project are to evaluate three NF membranes for their permeate water flux and ion rejection for both single salt feed water solutions as well as for synthetic seawater solutions. This data will provide the basis for a predictive model and allow the formation of a selection protocol to evaluate possible candidate NF membranes. |
