This webinar was co-sponsored by ASCE's ASCE's Environmental & Water Resources Institute (EWRI) and ASCE Continuing Education.

Purpose and Background

This webinar provides an overview of major membrane types, water treatment options, technologies and applications in the current market. Membrane technologies are gaining increasing popularity with accelerated rate due to unique features that membranes bring to water and wastewater treatment, water reuse and desalination: consistent effluent quality, smaller footprint/layout comparing to other processes, ability to treat highly variable quality influent. This webinar provides an over view of major membrane types, water treatment options, technologies and applications in the current market as well as information on the membrane processes and technologies trends and what should we expect tomorrow.
