Abstract:This study was undertaken to evaluate the suitability of microfiltration (MF) as pre-treatment for reverse osmosis (RO) seawater desalination to treat the seawater suffering from red-tide contamination using long-term operation of pilot plant. The one and a half year pilot MF operation had two objectives: stable production of the flow rate of 5 m3/h and acceptable water quality (SDI less than 3). The pilot plant operation revealed that the MF system successfully produced the target flow rate despite red-tide c… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
