ABSTRACT
Membrane processes have been adopted by water treatment industries and utilities. The management of concentrate from desalination plants is a challenge due to relatively high levels of both organic and inorganic contaminants. Because of the increasing concern over environmental impacts of concentrates from desalination processes and regulations of pollution control, concentrate management has been shifting towards minimizing the concentrate quantity, potential recovery of materials from concentrate, and improving the concentrate quality. Concentrate quality from different plants could be significantly different in terms of types and levels of compounds present. The removal efficiencies of membrane processes for with low molecular weight contaminants are low, and most data available for the removal of these types of contaminants indicate variable treatment performance. Even with treatment developments, and developments in membrane processes; the concentrate characteristics could be variable. In addition to development of treatment processes for unregulated emerging organic compounds, chemicals used for cleaning may also affect the contaminant-removal efficiency. Types of membrane modules used may affect removal efficiency, which subsequently affects the quality of the concentrates. This paper reviews the treatment options for concentrates from desalination plants for development of integrated water management strategies, to reduce the quantity of concentrates, and for materials recovery.
