Book Part Citation Count: 0Application of Nanofiltration for Reclamation and Reuse of Wastewater and Spent Geothermal Fluid(CRC Press, 2023) Güler, Enver; Cihanoğlu,A.; Güler,E.; Tomaszewska,B.; Kasztelewicz,A.; Baba,A.; Kabay,N.; Chemical EngineeringAfter the extraction of energy from the geothermal fluid, the consumed geothermal water can be considered as a potential water resource for agricultural and industrial purposes. The used geothermal water can also be used as a source of drinking water, which could reduce the pressure on the current clean water resources. On the other hand, geothermal fluids brought to the surface need to be treated in the most economical way before discharge into the surface environment or aquifer. Several processes have shown promising results for the treatment of geothermal water. Membrane processes such as nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) can be considered as a technology for obtaining good quality irrigation water from geothermal water. This chapter summarizes the application of NF for the recovery and reuse of wastewater and spent geothermal water. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, Abdul Wahab Mohammad, Teow Yeit Haan and Nidal Hidal; individual chapters, the contributors.Article Citation Count: 19Seawater desalination by using nanofiltration (NF) and brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) membranes in sequential mode of operation(Amirkabir University of Technology - Membrane Processes Research Laboratory, 2020) Yüksel, Melis; Jarma,Y.A.; Güler, Enver; Güler,E.; Kabay,N.; Arda,M.; Yüksel,M.; Law; Chemical EngineeringIn this study, the applicability of nanofiltration (NF) membranes as a pretreatment prior to reverse osmosis (RO) in seawater desalination was investigated. The membranes used were NF270 and NF90 as the NF membranes, while the brackish water (BW) RO membrane BW30 was used as the RO membrane. In desalination tests, permeates of the NF membranes were collected and used as the feed to the BW30 membrane. The calculated permeate fluxes were 6.7 L/h.m2, 11.3 L/h.m2, 24.3 L/h.m2, and 36.6 L/h.m2 for single BW30-35 bar, NF270-30 bar + BW30-35 bar, NF90-30 bar + BW30-25 bar and NF90-30 BW30-35 bar, respectively. The calculated water recovery and rejected salt values were 51.6%, 41.4%, 24.8%, 15.4% and 98.2%, 98.2%, 96.0%, 91.0% for NF90-30 bar + BW30-35 bar, NF90-30 bar + BW30-25 bar, NF270-30 bar + BW30-35 bar and single BW30-35 bar, respectively. The qualities of the product waters of integrated systems (NF+BWRO) and the single BWRO system were also investigated. Boron rejection was fairly well with average boron rejections of 59.3% and 60.2% by NF90-30 bar + BW30-25 bar and NF90-30 bar + BW30-35 bar combinations, respectively while single BW30-35 bar gave an average rejection of 49.6%. The results obtained showed that the quality of product water obtained using single BWRO did not comply with the irrigation standards, while the integrated systems provided total compliance to irrigation standards with the exception of boron. © 2020 MPRL.
