title = "Biological Removal, Membrane Separation, and Thermal Destruction: A Multi-barrier Approach to Potable Water Reuse and Waste Heat Recovery",
abstract = "The capabilities of a membrane bioreactor – membrane distillation (MBR-MD) system to accomplish high quality wastewater reuse is investigated for application to onsite wastewater treatment and potable water reuse. The MD system water production rate and solute rejection was studied over a range of operating conditions with organic, inorganic, and bacteriophages (MS2 and PhiX174) contaminants in the feed water. High temperature of feed water in MD resulted in 5-log10 reduction of bacteriophage concentrations in the feed and a 1.7-log10 rejection of bacteriophage, demonstrating a multibarrier approach to water treatment by MD. Gain output ratio (GOR) of MD for the test conditions was between 4.7 and 6.1.",
