Dilution of seawater using dewatered construction water in a hybrid forward osmosis system
Hawari A.H.; Al-Qahoumi A.; Ltaief A.; Zaidi S.; Altaee A. ( Elsevier Ltd , 2018 , Article)In this study, dewatered construction water was used for the first time as the feed solution in a combined pretreatment-forward osmosis process to dilute seawater (i.e. draw solution) for further desalination. It was found ... -
Fouling suppression in submerged membrane bioreactors by obstacle dielectrophoresis
Du F.; Hawari A.H.; Larbi B.; Ltaief A.; Pesch G.R.; Baune M.; Th?ming J.... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier B.V. , 2018 , Article)Submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) is currently believed to be an efficient biological treatment for reusing and recovering wastewater to extenuate the ever increasing water scarcity crisis. To mitigate the main problem, ... -
Impact of Pulsed Dielectrophoretic Supply on the Function of Microorganisms in Membrane Bioreactors
Larbi B.; Ltaief A.; Hawari A.H.; Du F.; Baune M.; Th?ming J.... more authors ... less authors ( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2018 , Article)This study aims to investigate the effect of dielectrophoretic (DEP) force on microorganisms' viability in a membrane bioreactor (MBR). The impact of different electrical potentials (5-150 V) and different exposure durations ...
