We're focusing on High Recovery Reverse Osmosis (HRRO) with insights from Ken Robinson, Director of North America Application & Sales at Avista Technologies. With over 40 years of experience in membrane technology, Ken sheds light on how HRRO is transforming water treatment and tackling industry challenges. Here are the key highlights from our conversation. What is Reverse Osmosis (RO)? Ken describes reverse osmosis as a method for rejecting dissolved minerals and macro-organics from water. He stated, “Today's systems, most of them are using what they call a thin film composite membrane, which are categorized into seawater, brackish, and low-energy membranes, along with an offshoot called nanofiltration.” These systems achieve remarkable efficiency, with a rejection rate of around 99%, leaving only a minimal amount of dissolved minerals in the purified water. What is High Recovery Reverse Osmosis (HRRO)? HRRO is designed to maximize water recovery and minimize waste, making it a game-changer for water treatment. According to Ken, “40 years ago, recovery limitations were dictated by the chemistries. Today, advances in antiscalant technology allow for much higher recovery rates.” This technology takes the concentrate from conventional RO systems and processes it further, increasing efficiency and sustainability. Industries Leading the Way Initially adopted in industrial settings, HRRO is now gaining traction in sectors like municipal water treatment, food and beverage production, and power generation. Ken emphasized that “the growing focus on sustainability and regulatory compliance is driving broader adoption of HRRO systems.” Ensuring Successful Operations To ensure HRRO systems function optimally, it's crucial to define feedwater quality parameters and anticipate variability. Ken stressed the importance of training operators, noting, “There always seems to be a disconnect between applications and salespeople developing ideas. Misunderstandings arise when people don't understand the behavior of water as it concentrates.” To effectively tackle any challenges that arise, Ken recommends the following steps for operators: Define Feedwater Quality Parameters: Establish clear benchmarks for feedwater quality, including turbidity, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), and any specific contaminants. This baseline will help identify any deviations that may affect system performance. Implement Regular Monitoring: Operators should capture data at regular intervals. This includes monitoring system pressures, flow rates, and recovery rates. Keeping an eye on these metrics will allow operators to identify trends and detect any anomalies early on. Normalize Collected Data: Regularly normalize the collected data to account for variations in operating conditions. By adjusting the data for factors such as temperature or seasonal changes, operators can gain clearer insights into system performance and efficiency. Train Operators on Water Behavior: Provide comprehensive training for operators that focuses on understanding how water behaves during the concentration process. As Ken pointed out, “water is very predictable in how it behaves,” so operators need to recognize the symptoms of potential issues and understand their causes. Foster Open Communication: Encourage collaboration among team members, especially between operators and technical support staff. Ken highlighted that insights often emerge from frontline staff who have firsthand experience with system operations. Conduct Root Cause Analysis: When problems arise, implement a structured approach to root cause analysis. This should involve gathering all relevant data, discussing operational practices, and reviewing system design. Engaging the team in this process can uncover issues that might be overlooked by individuals working in isolation. Adapt and Adjust: Finally, remain flexible and ready to adapt operational strategies based on the data insights and root cause analysis findings. By following these steps, operators can optimize HRRO system performance, improve efficiency, and ultimately reduce waste. Signs of a Successful Cleaning Ken Robinson shared valuable insights into the cleaning process, emphasizing the role of pre-treatment: “Pre-treatment is king in dictating the frequency,” he said, noting that surface water applications tend to require more frequent cleaning than well water systems. Ensuring that the cleaning process has been successful is key to maintaining high efficiency in HRRO systems. According to Ken, operators should check a few critical parameters post-cleaning: Performance Recovery: A successful cleaning will restore the system's flow rates and pressures to their baseline levels. Operators should monitor permeate flow, pressure differentials, and salt rejection rates to confirm the system is operating efficiently after cleaning. Normalized Data Comparison: Ken advised that operators should regularly normalize the system's data, both before and after cleaning, to get an accurate view of performance. If system performance remains suboptimal post-cleaning, it could indicate incomplete cleaning or deeper issues within the system. Visual Inspection: While much of the data will be analyzed digitally, a hands-on inspection of membranes and pre-treatment systems can also reveal residual fouling. If membranes appear visually clean and performance metrics align, it's a good indicator that the cleaning was successful. By consistently tracking and analyzing these factors, operators can extend membrane life and prevent performance issues from recurring. Future RO Innovations Ken highlighted the development of thin-film composite membranes as one of the most impactful advancements in RO technology. These membranes have made it possible to push systems to new limits, achieving higher recovery rates while maintaining durability. Looking ahead, zero liquid discharge (ZLD) systems—which aim to eliminate waste entirely—are on the horizon. As regions face water scarcity and stricter regulations, Ken sees ZLD playing a vital role in the future of water treatment. Conclusion HRRO is transforming the water treatment landscape by driving efficiency and sustainability. By leveraging the latest advancements and understanding the challenges, operators can optimize performance and reduce waste, helping clients meet both regulatory and environmental goals.

372 RO: The Industrial Workhorse - Maximizing Efficiency and Longevity of Reverse Osmosis Systems

Our lab partner today is Jed Harris, owner of Puretec Industrial Water with over 25 years of experience in the water industry, to delve into the world of Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems. Jed's extensive experience and deep understanding of high-purity water solutions provided a wealth of knowledge, making this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to scale up their water treatment expertise. Below, we highlight some of the best insights Jed shared, aimed at making the complex world of RO systems more accessible and intriguing. Reverse Osmosis: The Industry Workhorse Jed describes reverse osmosis as the workhorse of water treatment, efficiently removing up to 99% of dissolved solids, organics, bacteria, and viruses. This process involves using a high-pressure pump to force water through a semi-permeable membrane, reversing natural osmotic pressure. Whether you're in power generation, food and beverage, or pharmaceuticals, understanding RO systems is crucial as they play a pivotal role in ensuring water purity. Common RO Applications and Challenges RO systems are ubiquitous across various industries. Jed emphasizes their versatility but also highlights the complexities involved in managing them. He notes that the feedwater chemistry can vary, making it essential for operators to understand and monitor their systems to maintain optimal performance. This is particularly critical as the industry pushes for higher recovery rates, often pushing RO systems to their limits. Key Metrics for Monitoring RO Systems Trace Blackmore posed a crucial question; “What are some of the key things that we should be looking at to tell what's going on within the RO?”. Jed Harris provided valuable insights; “You want to look at your flows, your qualities, your pressures, and last but not least, the feedwater temperature—which has a huge effect on all this stuff. You want to look at your permeate flow, your concentrate flow, your feed pressure, your concentrate pressure, and your permeate pressure if available. And then the qualities would be your feed conductivity and your permeate conductivity.” Practical Tips for RO System Maintenance Jed shared several practical tips for maintaining RO systems. He advises partnering with a company that can conduct water analysis and projection to set the system up correctly. Regularly collecting data—ideally daily—and using normalization software to interpret this data is crucial. He also cautioned against the impact of temperature changes, noting that a decrease in feedwater temperature can lead to a significant drop in permeate flow, potentially misleading operators to think there's a problem when there isn't. Normalizing Data for Accurate Analysis One of the most insightful parts of the discussion was on the importance of data normalization. Jed explained, “By normalizing the data, what you're doing is essentially taking data when you start up the RO system, and then, as you go into the future, you're comparing the current performance to how it should be at the baseline.” This helps accurately assess the system's performance, especially when dealing with variables like temperature fluctuations that can significantly impact the RO system's output. Temperature's Effect on RO Jed Harris explains the critical impact of temperature on RO systems: "Temperature has such a huge effect on the amount of water that will go through a membrane. RO membranes are like the Miami Dolphins; they don't do well in cold weather. The rule of thumb is for every one-degree Fahrenheit drop in water temperature, you're going to lose about 1.5% in permeate flow. You might notice a decrease in permeate flow and think, 'Hey, these membranes are dirty. They're plugged. We need to clean; something's wrong.' But in reality, nothing's wrong. It's just that the feedwater temperature has dropped." Pre-Treatment is Key Jed Harris emphasizes the crucial role of proper pretreatment for RO systems: “Pre-treatment is the key to everything.” Jed also highlights the growing adoption of Ultrafiltration (UF) systems, which offer a more consistent quality level compared to traditional multimedia filters. He outlines three primary objectives: Prevent Oxidizer Damage: Once an RO membrane is damaged by an oxidizer, the damage is irreversible. Inhibit Scale Growth: Delay and inhibit scale growth for as long as possible. Reduce Suspended Solids: Minimizing suspended solids helps achieve the highest possible recovery rate. Biofouling: The Unavoidable Challenge Trace and Jed addressed one of the most persistent issues with RO systems: biofouling. Jed explained, “Biofouling is a huge issue… it's going to happen because we're removing chlorine before the RO system.” As chlorine, an oxidizer, is removed to protect the RO membranes, any bacteria that enter the system will thrive due to the rich nutrient environment. Monitoring normalized data is crucial as it provides early signs of membrane fouling, indicating it's time for cleaning. Jed highlighted a peculiar phenomenon: “When biofouling takes root in these membranes, a lot of times the normalized salt rejection will increase,” which can be misleading. When and How to Clean Membranes Cleaning membranes is both a straightforward and complex task. Jed Harris recommends against cleaning every time there is a 10% drop in normalized permeate flow, calling this practice excessive and potentially harmful to the membranes. Instead, operators should monitor the trends in normalized permeate flow and clean based on site-specific conditions. Typically, cleaning occurs every three months, but this can vary. Jed advises operators to watch for a drop in normalized permeate flow, an increase in normalized pressure differentials, and changes in normalized salt rejection as key indicators that cleaning is needed. Cleaning Methods There are two primary methods for cleaning RO membranes: on-site clean-in-place systems or off-site cleaning facilities. At Pure Tech, membranes are pre- and post-tested to assess their condition and effectiveness after cleaning. “Some membranes are just done… and others are returned to the customer and reinstalled,” Jed explained, highlighting the importance of thorough evaluation during the cleaning process. Real-World RO Membrane Repurposing Jed shared a humorous yet telling story from the pandemic. While visiting Egypt, he discovered that a village was using old RO membranes as the foundation for various structures. This anecdote underscores the importance of proper maintenance and the potential for repurposing equipment in creative ways. Resources and Contact Information For those interested in learning more, Jed recommended visiting Pure Tech's website, where a wealth of resources is available. “Please visit our website puretechwater.com, and we have a great team here,” Jed said, inviting listeners to reach out for further assistance.

352: Chris Lohring of Notch Wants You to Brew More Distinctive Lager

Notch Brewing's (https://www.notchbrewing.com) Chris Lohring loves that more craft brewers are embracing lager, but he has some strong opinions about the best way to brew lager beer. “Crispy boys don't exist, lagers aren't dry,” he says. “Clean lager yeast is boring to me.” Refinement and distinction are his goals, not minimalism, and he uses all the tools in the brewer's toolbox to achieve them, adjusting mash schedules and malt bills to build body in low-ABV beers, moving lager mid-fermentation from quasi-open fermenters to conical fermenters before later moving to horizontal lagering tanks, reducing and timing decoction to fit the goals of individual beers, and considering the impact of mash rests on fermentability, among many other things. It's not one thing, after all, that makes a lager distinct—in his worlds, “there's no magic bullet.” In this episode, Lohring discusses: Why Czech pale lager is a category not a style How variable processes in the cellar lead to different expressions of diacetyl Manipulating a mash schedule to build body and character with more expressive lager yeasts What decoction does and doesn't do for lagers Using small percentages of crystal male in Czech pale lager Fermenting with no head pressure and skimming to optimize flavor and hop character The difference in cerné pivo and tmavy pivo Using American hops in Czech-style lager And more.

Dr. Andrew Temte's mission is to Teach, Coach, Mentor, and Inspire, and today, the Scaling UP! H2O podcast is honored to feature him. In this transformative interview, Andrew discusses the foundational elements of building company culture, emphasizing that it starts with leadership. He shares valuable insights on why companies should prioritize defining their purpose before diving into marketing strategies. Additionally, Andrew explores the concept of leadership as stewardship and offers guidance on identifying core values while ensuring that everyone's voice is heard and valued. Discover the Value of People in Business: Emphasizing the importance of supporting and empowering employees, the conversation delves into how people are the most valuable asset in any organization. The need for leaders to embrace diversity of thought and opinion to create a culture where every voice is valued is highlighted. Explore Leadership Mindset: The transition from directive to non-directive leadership styles is discussed, emphasizing the importance of fostering an environment where diverse perspectives are welcomed and respected. Embrace a Stewardship Mindset: Advocating for adopting a stewardship mindset as a leader, the discussion focuses on the long-term success of both the business and its people, rather than personal power or ego. Learn about Compassionate Leadership: The concept of compassionate leadership is explored, which involves empathizing with employees and taking proactive steps to address their needs and concerns.

H2O Events Calendar where we've listed every event Water Treaters should be aware of by clicking HERE or using the dropdown menu. Drop By Drop with James Today's topic is Reverse Osmosis data normalization. Over time, RO membrane performance changes. The quality and quantity of permeate water produced and the energy required to produce it will vary. In Episode 339, Jane Kucera, author of the book “Reverse Osmosis,” said, “There are six things that affect membrane performance: fouling, scaling, membrane degradation, temperature, pressure, and concentration.” I really like that succinct list: fouling, scaling, membrane degradation, temperature, pressure, and concentration. The impacts of each of these are interrelated and complex. Changes in one of them can either hide or exasperate the effects of another. For example, dropping temperature may reduce the permeate flow rate while increasing pressure may increase it, thus canceling out the effects of each. This makes it next to impossible to determine the true performance of an RO system by simply looking at the raw data. So, what's the solution? If we lived in the world of scifi, we could take today's RO membranes, put them into a time machine, activate the flux capacitor like in “Back to the Future,” travel back in time, and install those membranes in the RO machine at the same time they were started up, replaced, or even cleaned so you could measure how they would perform under the exact same conditions as the baseline. The same pressure, same temperature, and same water concentration. I keep saying the word “same,” but that is key here. How would today's membranes perform in yesterday's machine under the same baseline conditions? Then you could eliminate the influences of changes in temperature, pressure, and concentration and figure out the real impacts of fouling, scaling, and membrane degradation. Simple, right? Now where did we put that flux capacitor? It's got to be around here somewhere. Oh, wait. Flux capacitors don't actually exist yet. Dang it! Now what? That's where normalization comes into play. Normalization is a fancy way of saying you are going to MATHEMATICALLY take those membranes back in time and adjust for changes in temperature, pressure, and concentration. This will allow you to make an apples-to-apples comparison of permeate flows by calculating the normalized permeate flow (NPF) of today to compare to the permeate flow at the baseline conditions. The same goes for normalized pressure differential (NPD) and normalized salt rejection (NSR). Your next logical question may be, “Well, where do I get these miraculous normalization equations?” While there are ASTM standards for such calculations, your easiest route is probably to visit your RO membrane manufacturer's website to download their normalization tool. It may be as simple as an Excel worksheet. If you manage an RO system, it is worth your time to learn how to use these tools to normalize your RO data so you know when it is time to clean the membranes and to find problems as they occur.

Black Caddis began as one of Preston Theony's homebrew recipes, but rather than create a take on an existing style, he started with the flavor he wanted to achieve and built a recipe to realize that. Now, after brewing the beer commercially at Wren House (https://www.wrenhousebrewing.com) for the better part of the past decade, he's still not done experimenting with changes to not just the recipe, but the core of fermentation itself. More recently, the beer has moved from ale fermentation with a Kölsch strain to lager fermentation with a 34-70 strain, in order to amplify the “clean, cutting characteristic” that Theony sought. It's dark beer in the 4% ABV range sold in one of the hottest of the United States, and drinkability is paramount. Similarly, Theony has never stopped tinkering with their hazy IPA recipe, despite core beer Spellbinder's gold medal in the juicy or hazy IPA category at the 2020 GABF. Note that anything he mentions doing or using in this podcast is subject to change, and this is only a snapshot of where they are at this brewing moment. But with that said, through the conversation, he touches on: switching to lager fermentation with a shorter lagering time to give Black Caddis porter more edge layering Carafa, C120, Carafoam, and Chocolate Rye malt for broad flavor in a small beer hyperfocusing on pH throughout the brewing process reducing whirlpool hops and boosting dry hops to improve drinkability using Galaxy as a bridge between Citra and Mosaic dry hopping early and capping the tank their approach to awards season as a time to reflect and improve beers evaluating competition feedback And more.

But the beer that head brewer/co-owner Justin “Gully” Gullickson and assistant brewer Andrew Cooper are making to feed the two brewery taproom locations is as compelling as it is consistent. In this episode, they discuss their best-in-beer-winning West Coast pils, Radial Spines, as well as their high-scoring IPAs, and along the way they touch on: blending West Coast IPA and pils grists for West Coast pils setting up successful lager fermentations with a single infusion mash whirlpooling with cryo hops dry hopping cold for extended periods with cryo hops staggering hop blend percentages between the hot and cold side, based on individual hop characteristics grounding new school hop flavors with old school classics brewing IPA with gummy sharks And more.

Dr. Sunil Pai discussed the significant role of water purification methods and their environmental implications. While reverse osmosis provides high-quality water, its wastage rate has become a concern in recent times. Gravity filters, on the other hand, might require patience due to their slow filtration process but are more sustainable. He also emphasized the increasing need for cleaner water due to a rise in environmental contaminants, cautioning against the common misconception that carbon filters remove all impurities. Pai's insights underscore the importance of choosing filtration systems wisely and sustainably, considering both health and environmental impacts. #WaterFiltration #SustainableChoices #CleanWaterAwareness

It's cold. You've had a long day as an industrial water treatment professional battling scale, corrosion, unwanted microbiological activity, and inefficiencies. You're tired. You just want to go home, kick your feet up, relax, and get warm. You forget to take your test kit out of the car. You wake up in the morning, drive to the next industrial water system, open up your test kit, and it is FROZEN SOLID! What do you do? Do you run around in circles? Do you sit the test kit as closely to a boiler as you dare to thaw it out? Do you dunk it in hot water? The first thing you should do is learn your lesson and never let your test kit freeze again. Ever. I'll admit, I learned this lesson the hard way. Next, I consulted with a trusty test-kit manufacturing expert, and his suggestion was to allow it to thaw at room temperature. He said do NOT artificially heat it, even in hot water. Most reagents are likely to recover. To be safe, you should compare your test results to new reagents or another rep's results. Personally, I found my iodide/iodate titration solution used in the sulfite test was never the same after it froze and gave me low readings. You could also just replace all your reagents, but I understand that could get expensive. Another thing to consider when a test kit freezes is the impact upon testing equipment such as the pH probe, which may have cracked or broken as its internal solution froze and expanded. Plus, plunging a cold pH probe into a warm solution may induce cracking as well. 2024 Events for Water Professionals Check out our Scaling UP!

Texas State University's Keisuke Ikehata, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Ingram School of Engineering, joins the Big Ideas TXST podcast to discuss an innovative pilot program to convert wastewater into purified drinking water. Texas' rapid population growth combined with ongoing drought conditions has led to water shortages across the state. In the face of this challenge, Ikehata sees an opportunity for the public to embrace the idea of using treated wastewater for daily needs, a process referred to as potable water reuse. Ikehata and his students have partnered with the San Marcos Wastewater Treatment Plant on an advanced water purification system that turns more than 5 million gallons of wastewater into clean, environmentally safe water on a daily basis. An expert in advanced water and wastewater treatment and sustainable water resources management, including water reuse, desalination and stormwater management, Ikehata earned his doctorate in civil and environmental engineering from the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. In July 2019, he joined TXST as one of four founding members of the civil engineering program. Prior to joining TXST, Ikehata worked for more than eight years as a technical specialist/R&D manager at a water resources engineering firm in Orange County, Calif. and eight years in academia in California, Alberta and Kansas.

In RO, you have one influent stream coming in, a product water stream that's very low in minerals, a high concentration stream that's low volume but very high concentration of dissolved solids, and it's a pressure-driven process. You use pressure to force the water through the membrane and the membrane retains the minerals and dissolved solids.” -Jane Kucera “There are six things that affect membrane performance: fouling, scaling, membrane degradation, temperature, pressure, and concentration.” -Jane Kucera Jane Kucera's advice for success: “Be proactive.

The toxins contaminating public drinking water totals over 350,000 human-made chemicals, including: Herbicides Glyphosate (Roundup) and Atrazine, Carcinogen MTBE, Hexavalent Chromium (Chromium-6) the carcinogen otherwise known as the “Erin Brockovich chemical,” chlorine, flouride, heavy metals, radioactive elements and headlines newest ‘Forever Chemicals' like Fluoridated Non Stick PTFE. Additionally, Pharmaceutical Drugs such as pain relievers, cancer drugs, antidepressants, oral contraceptives, blood pressure and cholesterol drugs. No research has been conducted on whether or not Covid shot poisons are being filtered out of municipal water. Forever Chemicals are found in 98% of humans tested, and the main source exposure is…your water! My top favorite solution expert to these scary stats, Courtney Lawyer joins us to answer the most common questions I get related to water purification: What's the difference between Distilled, Reverse Osmosis and Alkaline water? ‘Watch the Water' documentary? Truth or Myth? What health conditions has distilled water been known to help relieve? (Hint: high blood pressure, arthritis, gall stones, kidney disease, Lyme, Osteoporosis, water retention and more that will blow your mind) What types of toxins and / or pathogens will Distilled water filter out and how does this compare to other water systems? Let's talk ‘water systems'. Today there's a lot of filtration systems like the Berkey, Pur, Brita, fridge filters - are they enough? What's Ph got to do with it? Fancy new water systems…Deuterium, Hydrogen, Crystalized, are they worth it? The bottled water HOAX. On average, bottled water costs about $3.79 per gallon – close to the average cost of gasoline. Municipal water, meanwhile, costs less than one cent per gallon. I'm going to share with you the most inexpensive way to filter the healthiest water, saving you money AND the symptoms you may have not been successful at eliminating, despite several attempts. We will specifically focus on the most urgent and imperative action steps Dr Kazer advises ALL Americans and all humans to work on a Total Body Transformation approach to Cleanse your Body, Heal the Root Cause and Ignite your Sovereignty from symptoms, sickness and suffering.

Matthias Trum is the sixth-generation brewer at Bamberg's Heller-Trum Bräu—better known as Schlenkerla—and he is as obsessed with local history as he is with producing world-class smoked lagers via their old-fashioned methods. Bamberg has a long history of brewing, and Trum is a great student of that history—and his family has played an important role in it. In this episode, he immerses us in that story, discussing: old family brewing logs that detail strong beers as well as lower-strength ones made from second runnings the true story of rauchbier, and Schlenkerla's role in preserving its legacy details on Schlenkerla's own wood-fired malting process, and the old practice of using different types of wood the non-linear intensity of the smoky character in Schlenkerla's beers the importance of decoction to fermentation and flavor the flavor contribution of their direct-fire copper kettles the trick of balancing smoke and malt with evident hop bitterness experimenting with malts smoked by different woods and paired with different aroma hops balancing the non-smoked yet subtly smoky Helles Lagerbier how hyper-inflation led to the development of the Helles And more.
