Coupling in Miex Doc Process with Membrane Hybrid System in Wastewater reuse
Project Member(s): Vigneswaran, S., Ngo, H.
Start year: 2002
Summary: Wastewater reuse is being increasingly emphasised as a strategy for rational use of limited freshwater and as a means of safeguarding the deteriorating acquatic environment due to wastewater disposal. This research aims at introducing of magnetic ion exchange (MIEX) process as pretreatment to membrane-flocculation hybrid system (MFHS) to remove most of the small molecular weight organics and to minimize the membrane fouling. The large molecular weight organics will be removed by MFHS together with suspended solids and microorganisms. This research will lead to a new design of a hybrid system to treat and reuse domestic wastewater for non-potable purposes.
