Clay(NOM(Humic(Fulvic)))

Published on by

Hi everyone, after some important suggestions over the past week or two, and some intense literature reviews to include the membranes' autopsy results, I have decided to propose that the foulant causing the irreversible membrane fouling from the 1st pilot study is a natural organic matter(>92%). Consequently, the source water is from a clay environment, and further narrowing things down it might be humic and/or fulvic acids (reference Mr. peeters). However, I am looking for recommendations including literatures on coagulants/flocculants that will help prevent and mitigate this fouling upstream the UF. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

  2. Hello everyone, Please find a little information on our machine for negating the need for UF filters or chemicals. We have designed and built a machine that produces a sonic sound wave and turns water to steam. The impurities in the water are dried and separated to a fine pathogen free powder. Condensed water is pure and does not require further treatment. There are no filters or chemicals used in this process. Rick Wadley rick.j.wadley@gmail.com Tasmania Australia
