MBR Removes Pathogens for Potable Reuse Applications

Creating a water resource from used water is nothing new or groundbreaking. People and communities have reused water for irrigation for years. The potable reuse frontier is one with bigger headwinds, although many in the water industry recognize its need. The biggest scare? Public health crises related to pathogens and diseases.

Sandeep Sathyamoorthy is the global practice and technology leader for Black & Veatch. During WEFTEC he presented on the effectiveness of membrane bioreactors to curb this pathogen problem while his team went live with an MBR reverse osmosis system in Morro Bay, California, the first of its kind in the state. Hear about his research and the efforts being made to update regulations to make potable reuse an effective long-term solution for water scarcity.
