摘要

The use of membranes for treatment of both potable water and wastewater is on theincrease. Several factors are responsible for this trend, among them the decreasing costof membrane equipment; increased concern for pathogen removal; use of less desirablesource water, with higher total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations; and the growingpractice of using reclaimed wastewater treatment plant effluent. The disposal of thewaste streams generated in membrane treatment, can pose a difficult problem.Results of surveys1 indicate that a common method of brine disposal is to discharge it to awastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Since the brine generated in membrane treatmenthas a high TDS content, it can interfere with wastewater settling; inhibit biologicalprocesses; and impacts to aquatic toxicity testing, all of which limit the options fordisposal or reuse of the water. In addition, the NPDES permits of many WWTPs containlimits on TDS or on specific ions. Brines high in TDS can also aggravate the corrosion ofcollection system piping and treatment plant process equipment. Because of these adverseimpacts, treatment facilities are requesting brine dischargers to examine alternativemethods of disposal.Traditional alternatives to discharging the brine to a WWTP include evaporation ponds,deep well injection, and mechanical evaporation2. Evaporation ponds have long beenused to decrease the volume of the brine concentrate to the point of crystallization,making it possible to handle the TDS precipitates as a solid material. This practice islimited because of its large site requirements, which makes it practicable only in aridclimates. Deep well injection and mechanical evaporation are capital-intensive as well ashaving high operation and maintenance costs. There is no ideal low-cost method of brinedisposal except ocean discharge, which does not help facilities that are not close to anocean.
