Part 1 An overview of membrane processes and their application in water treatment: the emergence of membranes in water and wastewater treatment; membrane applications - a contaminant-based perspective; categories of membrane technologies. Part 2 Principles of membrane performance: models of rejection in dP processes; models for sensitivity in electrodialysis; models for selectivity in multiphase processes; mass transport and permeate flux in dP processes; biofouling of membranes. Part 3 Process applications: field evaluation and piloting; reverse osmosis; nanofiltration; ultrafiltration; microfiltration; electrodialysis. Part 4 Membrane reactors: PAC/membrane reactors coagulation and membrane separation; membrane bioreactors; ion exchange membrane reactors. Part 5 Future developments.
The leading organization of water management professionals in the United States, the American Water Works Association (AWWA) empaneled a committee of 23 experts to compile authoritative definitions and develop this dictionary. This special Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has worked since 1994 creating this unequaled reference. James M. Symons, Cullen Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering at the University of Houston, served as Project Supervisor and Editor. AWWA has its headquarters in Denver, Colorado.
