The workshop will take place during the 2009 Fall Operators Symposium in Miami, Florida, October 26-27.
Tony Wachinski, Ph.D., senior vice president, Pall Water Processing, will represent the company on the panel, discussing the Pall Aria hollow fiber microfiltration membrane system for reverse osmosis (RO) pre-treatment.
The Pall Aria system removes suspended solids from any source water, including sea or brackish water. The company said the technology replaces more cumbersome, inefficient, and expensive conventional pretreatment systems such as air flotation, clarification, sand/mixed media, and cartridge filtration. By pre-treating with Pall microfiltration, the RO membranes are exposed to a lower volume of particulate matter. This protective capability significantly reduces the number of membrane cleanings, increases efficiency, and prolongs the life and value of the RO system. More than 400 filtration systems using Pall Aria membrane technology have been installed worldwide.
"Combining the strengths of Pall's membrane technologies, engineering, and technical expertise, the Pall Aria microfiltration system is designed for high-yield production of Pure water from sea and brackish water. It also prepares wastewater for re-use," said Dr. Wachinski.
Pall will present a full array of Pall Aria systems during the fall SEDA symposium.
An affiliate of the American Membrane Technology Association, the Southeast Desalting Association (SEDA) is dedicated to the improvement of the quality of water supplies through membrane desalting and filtration, water reuse and other water sciences.
