Comments
The research was conducted by Joffrey Leevy, a graduate research assistant under the supervision of Dr. Kimberly L. Jones of Civil/Environmental Engineering Department at Howard University. The report was prepared by Charita Brent, a graduate research assisistant. The High Flux, Low Fouling Membrane Subsystem is responsible for pretreating the Bio-Regenerative Environmental Treatment for Health (BREATHe)Subsystems effluent. Low pressure Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Nanofiltration (NF) membranes are candidates for this portion of the water recovery process. A system of membranes will be used to remove remaining contaminants including trace organics, surfactants, and ammonium ions from the water stream. Currently, trials are being conducted on both membranes sizes until a suitor is determined.
