Eco-Reuse, Safer, Better Water

Addressing the world’s growing water demand by reusing municipal wastewater, IDE Eco-Reuse offers safer process for producing high-quality potable water for either indirect potable reuse (IPR – aquifer recharge, irrigation or industrial supply) or direct potable reuse (DPR).

IDE’s wastewater reuse technologies guarantee safer and cost-effective reuse process by implementing IDE’s unique proprietary technologies.

IDE Eco-Reuse process can be implemented in new reuse facilities, or for retrofitting existing water reuse facilities to improve process sustainability and produce safer product water.

Eco-Friendly, Cost Effective Process

IDE’s Eco-Reuse process uses a safe preventive maintenance approach that maintains the system constantly clean, eliminating the need for chloramine dosage and increasing the intervals between CIP.

Wastewater reuse technologies increase the system efficiency, as well as minimize its environmental impact.

Direct Osmosis High Salinity (DOHS)
Injection of a short pulse of concentrated salt causes bacteria dehydration

Backwash of the membrane surface by forward osmosis

Rapid increase in cross flow velocity
Conservation – periodic flushing of the membrane with permeate to dissolve scaling

Safer product – no NDMA formation
High availability
CAPEX & OPEX Savings
Lower chemical consumption
Lower energy consumption

IDE’s Eco-Reuse Water Purifying Process

The Story of Central Coast Blue – Advanced Water Purification Demo Facility

Central Coast Blue (CCB) is a regional recycled water project that is developing a sustainable water supply to protect the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin.

The recent drought led to an implementation of the Regional Groundwater Sustainability Project and highlighted the need for a sustainable, drought-proof reliable source of water supply for future extended droughts.

In April 2017, IDE offered CCB a unique opportunity for partnership to demonstrate a new Eco-Reuse process, able to provide a safer purifying process, that is eco-friendlier and more cost effective.

The process has been successfully running since early 2018, demonstrating production of safer and higher quality water.

Utilizing Available Coldness from Liquefied Natural Gas LNG Regasification Process for Seawater Desalination

In this article a case study was considered, in which an LNG regasification plant can supply 1750 ton/hr of water-glycol solution at -15°C to be utilized for seawater desalination. The main challenge in this evaluation is being able to provide a desalination solution able to compete with the commonly used RO plants.

Recovery of Osmotic Power in SWRO Plants

The paper analyzes the ways that different researchers have selected to overcome the phenomenon of CP, and presents an overview of the existing RO membranes from the point of view of their suitability for use in Forward Osmosis power generation.

Design Challenges and Operational Experience of a Mega MED Seawater Desalination Plant in Tianjin

This article is a continuation of the article "Sliding Pressure Turbine Integrated with Seawater Desalination Facility (MED)" presented at the IDA 2011 World Congress.

Three Pressure Retarded Osmosis PRO Processes

Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) can be implemented on a number of water types, using different technologies and achieving various power outcomes. This paper presents the three most practical options.

Three Center Design Implemented in Ashkelon SWRO Plant

This paper presents the three center design implemented in the South Israel (Ashkelon) seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination facility with guaranteed production capability of 100 Mm³ /year. The facility design is based on the concept of a Three-Center Design: a pumping center, a membrane center and an energy recovery center.
