Present in most surface andsome ground waters. Higher concentrations cause a brownish tint. Difficult to remove exceptby adsorption, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration or reverse osmosis.A filtration process performed by continually adding a coagulant to the raw feedwater and thenpassing the water through a filter to remove the microfloc which has been formed.A device to connect adjacent membrane elements in series and to seal the product channelfrom the feed brine channel.A reversible process by which ions are interchanged between a solid and a liquid with nosubstantial structural changes in the solid; ions removed from a liquid by chemical bonding tothe media.Measure of the overall electrolytic potential of a solution, the strength of a solution based onboth the concentrations and valencies of the ions present.The disassociation of molecules into charged particles (ions).An index calculated from total dissolved solids, calcium concentration, total alkalinity, pH, andsolution temperature that shows the tendency of a water solution to precipitate or dissolvecalcium carbonate.The sandwich layer of flat-sheet membrane/product channel spacer/flat-sheet membrane,glued together on the sides and across the outer end in a spiral wound element.Use of lime and Na 2 CO 3 for softening water.Langelier Saturation Index, measure of CaCO 3 solubility in brackish waters. See S&DSI.A manganese dioxide coated greensand used as a filter medium for removal of manganeseand iron. See greensand.An enlarged pipe with connections available to the individual feed, brine and product ports of adesalination device.Mass (or volume) transfer through a membrane based on driving force.Engineered thin semipermeable film which serves as a barrier permitting the passage ofmaterials only up to a certain size, shape, or electro-chemical character. Membranes are usedas the separation agent in reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, andmicrofiltration, as disc filters in laboratories, and as pleated filter cartridges, particularly formicrofiltration.The active area available for micro, nano and ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis.See compaction.The design and shape of a given membrane element (cartridge) such as tubular, spiral woundor hollow fiber.A bundle of spiral membrane envelopes bound together as a discrete entity.Geometrically regular porous matrix; removes particles above pore size rating by physical sizeexclusion.SP m is the concentration of a compound in the permeate related to its average concentrationon the feed/concentrate side.Use of crossflow membrane to substantially reduce hardness ions in water. See nanofiltration.Microfiltration.Modified Fouling Index.Millions of gallons per day.Filtration designed to remove particles in the approximate range of 0.05 to 2 µm.Bacteria and other organisms that require the aid of a microscope to be seen.See microbe.Unit of measurement of water purity by electrical conductivity; one micromho; reciprocal ofresistivity. See megohm, ohm.A weight-volume measurement obtained by dividing the concentration expressed in milligramsper litre by the equivalent weight of the substance or ion. If specific gravity is unity meq/L isthe same as epm.Page 158 of 180 ® Trademark of The Dow Chemical <strong>Company</strong> ("Dow") or an affiliated company of Dow Form No. 609-00071
