摘要 |
<p>A method of treating water for municipal use comprises treating the feedwater stream on the feed side of a reverse osmosis membrane with a non-oxidizing, bromine-containing biocide in the substantial absence of a reducing agent, such that biofouling of the membrane is reduced or prevented, and measuring the produced water stream on the permeate side for the presence of bromine-containing compounds. Advantages may include preservation of the membrane, production of water that meets applicable regulations for safe drinking, and simplified processing without additional steps to remove the biocide or its degradation products from the produced water.</p> |
