Wastewater from pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries as well as landfill leachates are specifically considered as representative of major problems encountered when treating industrial streams. The economic and environmental sustainability of the above solutions are also reported in the book and compared with the alternatives currently available in the market by life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle costing (LCC) methodologies. The implementation of the considered solutions at large scale could support and enhance the competitiveness of different industrial sectors, including the water technology sector, in the global market. Innovative and Integrated Technologies for the Treatment of Industrial Wastewater also makes a contribution towards defining: • new concepts, processes and technologies in wastewater treatment with potential benefits for the stable quality of effluents, energy and operational costs saving, and the protection of the environment • new sets of advanced standards for wastewater treatment • new methodologies for the definition of wastewater treatment needs and framework conditions • new information supporting development and implementation of water legislation.

As the global demand for fresh clean water is increasing, these membrane technologies are increasingly important. One of the most serious problems in RO/NF applications is biofouling – excessive growth of biomass – affecting the performance of the RO/NF systems. This can be due to the increase in pressure drop across membrane elements (feed-concentrate channel), the decrease in membrane permeability or the increase in salt passage. These phenomena result in the need to increase the feed pressure to maintain constant production and to clean the membrane elements chemically. Biofouling of Spiral Wound Membrane Systems relates biomass accumulation in spiral wound RO and NF membrane elements with membrane performance and hydrodynamics and determines parameters influencing biofouling. It focuses on the development of biomass in the feed-concentrate (feed-spacer) channel and its effect on pressure drop and flow distribution. It can be used to develop an integral strategy to control biofouling in spiral wound membrane systems. Most past and present methods to control biofouling have not been very successful. An overview of several potential complementary approaches to solve biofouling is given and an integrated approach for biofouling control is proposed.

However, some critical issues remain open: improvement of water quality, enhancement of the recovery factor, reduction of the unit water cost, minimizing the brine disposal impact. This book aims to solve these problems with an innovative approach based on the integration of different membrane operations in pre-treatment and posttreatment stages. Membrane-Based Desalination: An Integrated Approach (acronym MEDINA) has been a three year project funded by the European Commission within the 6th Framework Program. The project team has developed a work programme aiming to improve the current design and operation practices of membrane systems used for water desalination, trying to solve or, at least, to decrease the critical issues of sea and brackish water desalination systems. In the book, the main results achieved in the nine Work Packages constituting the project will be described, and dismissed by the leaders of the various WPs. The following areas are explored in the book: • the development of advanced analytical methods for feed water characterization, appropriate fouling indicators and prediction tools, procedures and protocols at full-scale desalination facilities; • the identification of optimal seawater pre-treatment strategies by designing advanced hybrid membrane processes (submerged hollow fibre filtration/reaction, adsorption/ion exchange/ozonation) and comparison with conventional methods; • the optimisation of RO membrane module configuration, cleaning strategies, reduction of scaling potential by NF; • the development of strategies aiming to approach the concept of Zero Liquid Discharge (increasing the water recovery factor up to 95% by using Membrane Distillation - MD; bringing concentrates to solids by Membrane Crystallization or Wind Intensified Enhanced Evaporation) and to reduce the brine disposal environmental impact and cost; • increase the sustainability of desalination process by reducing energy consumption(evaluation of MD, demonstration of a new energy recovery device for SWRO installations)and u se of renewable energy (wind and solar).

N E W P U B L I C A T I O N S 2 0 1 2 Modelling & Statistics Guidelines for Using Activated Sludge Models Authors: IWA Task Group on Good Modelling Practice - Leiv Rieger, Sylvie Gillot, Guenter Langergraber, Takayuki Ohtsuki, Andy Shaw, Imre Takacs, Stefan Winkler Mathematical modelling of activated sludge systems is used widely for plant design, optimisation, training, controller design and research. The quality of simulation studies varies depending on the project objectives, finances and expertise available. Consideration has to be given to the model accuracy and the amount of time required carrying out a simulation study to produce the desired accuracy. Inconsistent approaches and insufficient documentation make quality assessment and comparison of simulation results difficult or almost impossible. A general framework for the application of activated sludge models is needed in order to overcome these obstacles. The genesis of the Good Modelling Practice (GMP) Task Group lies in a workshop held at the 4th IWA World Water Congress in Marrakech, Morocco where members of research groups active in wastewater treatment modelling came together to develop plans to synthesize the best practices of modellers from all over the world. The most cited protocols were included in the work, amongst others from: Hochschulgruppe, STOWA, BIOMATH and WERF. The goal of the group was to set up an internationally accepted framework to deal with activated sludge models in practice. This framework makes modelling more straightforward and systematic especially for consultants and other practitioners. Additionally, it helps to define quality levels for simulation results, a procedure to assess this quality and to assist in the proper use of the models. The goals can be summarised as follows: 1. Set-up of an internationally accepted framework for activated sludge modelling, with a strong emphasis on the quality control of simulation studies. 2. The framework should be targeted towards practitioners and consultants and therefore cost aspects are very important. 3. Identify and classify different model application goals together with the appropriate effort to obtain results with sufficient quality to meet the objectives of the study. The GMP Task Group hopes to achieve these objectives through the publication of a Scientific and Technical Report entitled Guidelines for Using Activated Sludge Models. The GMP Task Group has developed a Unified Protocol and an Application Matrix as the basis for the modelling framework. The Unified Protocol was developed by synergizing the best salient features of several published modelling protocols and consists of five major steps: 1. Project definition 2. Data collection and reconciliation 3. Plant model set-up 4. Calibration and validation 5. Simulation and result interpretation The Application Matrix consists of a list of 14 typical modelling applications and indicates the relative rigour with which each of the Unified Protocol steps should be carried out for the particular application. This book provides an introduction to learning Good Modelling Practice (GMP) in activated sludge modelling. It is of special interest for process engineers who have no prior knowledge of modelling, and can be used as a textbook, and a modelling reference book.

Artificial Recharge: Technology and Systems for the Creation of Drinking Water from Surface Water demonstrates a management tool that uses sophisticated monitoring systems linking automatic real-time data acquisition and available on-line sensor systems and fast field analysis kits with intelligent decision support software.
