Pulse Flow RO for Water Reuse Applications – Design Considerations

Water scarcity and population growth create increasing pressure on natural water sources and require the development of new, sustainable water sources. As technologies gradually improve, reusing effluent from municipal wastewater plants is becoming more popular as an alternative renewable source, and wastewater reuse is proving an effectively sustainable method for ensuring a drought-proof, safe, reliable, locally controlled water supply. Wastewater reuse, together with zero or near zero liquid discharges, have been a growing trend due to the requirement of sustainable water management mandated by tightening discharge regulations. Pulse Flow Reverse Osmosis (PFROô) technology is an innovative method for operating Wastewater Reverse Osmosis water reuse (WWRO) and brackish water (BWRO) systems.
