The United States (US) energy system is a large water user, but the nature of that use is
poorly understood. To support resource comanagement and fill this noted gap in the …

We systematically assess the efficiency of chemical cleaning and report a simple but elegant
approach to control scaling during membrane distillation (MD) of brine from reverse osmosis …

Forward osmosis (FO) has proven to be a robust, low-pressure membrane separation
process capable of rejecting a broad range of contaminants; thus, providing a high quality …

Coal seam gas (CSG) is a growing industry in Queensland and represents a potential major
employer and deliverer of financial prosperity for years to come. CSG is a natural gas …

Produced water management is one of the key challenges faced by the oil and gas industry
