WEBINAR Squeezing the Last Drop: Using Enhanced-Recovery Reverse Osmosis to Improve Water Production

Recording of the webinar "Squeezing the Last Drop: Using Enhanced-Recovery Reverse Osmosis to Improve Water Production", hosted August 7, 2024.

Description:
Maximizing water extraction efficiency is vital for water-stressed regions like southern California. Reverse osmosis (RO), a key process in potable reuse and brackish water treatment since the 1970s, typically leaves 15-20% of the feed flow as concentrate. This concentrate is a potential water source that advanced high-recovery RO technologies can tap into. In this webinar, explore cutting-edge solutions for enhancing water production and learn about:
• High-recovery RO pilot studies by the Orange County Water District and the city of Santa Monica
• Santa Monica’s pioneering full-scale flow-reversal RO installation
• How these technologies can significantly increase water recovery and address regional water scarcity

Speakers:
• Han Gu, Ph.D., Senior Scientist/Process Specialist, Orange County Water District
• Alex Waite, P.E., Supervising Civil Engineer, City of Santa Monica
