Controlling Biofouling in Seawater Reverse Osmosis Membrane Systems

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This study developed the method for measuring bacterial regrowth potential in seawater samples, an effective tool to assess the biofouling potential of seawater reverse osmosis feed water. It was demonstrated that lower algogenic organic matter and phosphate concentrations coincide with lower bacterial regrowth potential and lower rate of head loss development in membrane fouling simulators.

Autorenporträt

Nirajan Dhakal is a Lecturer in Water Supply Engineering at IHE-Delft Institute for Water Education in the Netherlands. He completed his MSc degree in Water Supply Engineering at UNESCO-IHE in 2011 and he will be awarded with a PhD degree at the Technical University of Delft on November 2017. He has a second MSc degree in Regional Development Planning and Management from the University of Dortmund, Germany, and University of the Philippines in 2009. He has more than 6 years of consultancy and research experience in water supply engineering. For the last 5 years, Nirajan has been involved in various research projects related to algal blooms and membrane based seawater desalination in collaboration with the Wetsus European Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Water Technology. He is broadly interested in desalination with particular emphasis on algal blooms and membrane fouling and scaling mechanisms, mitigation, and control, pre-treatment technologies and modelling.
