<p>A process for treatment of water via membrane separation to remove hardness and non-hydroxide alkalinity by simultaneous removal in a weak acid cation exchange resin. The process includes ionization of sparingly ionizable components, such as silica, by adjusting the pH up to about 10.5 or higher. Their separation by the membrane is significantly increased. The passage of boron, silica and TOC is reduced by a factor of ten or more. Recovery of 90 % or higher is achievable with most brackish feedwaters, while substantial reduction in cleaning frequency is simultaneously achieved. The apparatus used for the water treatment process includes reverse osmosis membrane(s) (30), mixed bed ion exchange unit (44, 46), micron filter (48), ultraviolet sterilization unit (49), decarbonation unit (20), and electrodeionization unit (150).</p> |
