Membrane filtration
GE Water & Process Technologies will showcase its desalination systems, including seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) and brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO). The SWRO systems are designed to recover 25-35% of the feed as purified water, which keeps the concentration factors low. SWRO systems produce a feedwater quality up to 45,000 ppm TDS. The BWRO membrane technology converts previously unusable water to resources for drinking water by removing dissolved minerals and salts from the brackish water supply. It also reduces the TDS and total hardness and removes arsenic, color, perchlorate, and radium.

Arsenic removal
Severn Trent Services has introduced Bayoxide® E33P, a pelletized version of the granular Bayoxide® E33 arsenic removal media. The new media has the same high capacity for arsenic removal as the original media, which has been proven to remove arsenic to below 4 ppb. The pellet composition has a more uniform and sharper pore configuration, which improves product handling. As a result, pressure drop is reduced across the media bed requiring less frequent backwashes. The pelletized media can also be loaded into the vessel in the dry state and creates minimal dust.

Video surveillance
The Longwatch Video Surveillance System provides operators with the visual information they need to monitor and manage remote facilities, like well fields, pumping stations, and water towers. Operators receive automatic video alarm notification that can be used to verify if an intrusion warrants immediate action, no response, or is a false alarm. Unlike traditional stand-alone security systems that use closed-circuit or broadband networks for video transmission, the Longwatch system can use existing SCADA low-bandwidth communications networks to transmit video.
