Concentrate Management
Presenters: Robert McCandless, Brown & Caldwell; Gil Hurwitz, Black & Veatch; Ethan Demeter, Magna Imperio Systems Corp.

This webinar will provide information and examples of membrane solids management from both high-recovery processes such as zero-liquid discharge, or conventional options. Given the challenges of concentrate management, it is prudent to explore all beneficial use options early in project planning or through studies and field testing.  A combination of methods linking more conventional options with beneficial use may provide redundancy, reliability, and potential cost savings.  Join experts as they explore alternatives for solids produced by conventional and high-recovery methods. Session Titles

Learning Objectives:

1.    Understand the planning requirements for high-quality process water and a closed-loop, zero-liquid discharge system.

2.     Learn about the process improvements realized through  pre-concentration

3.     Introduction to a groundwater closed-circuit RO demonstration facility
