Rochem Separation Systems, Inc. Disc Tube{trademark} Module technology: Innovative technology evaluation report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:350357
The report summarizes the findings of an evaluation of the Rochem Separation Systems, Inc. (Rochem) Disc Tube Module (DTM) technology. This technology is a membrane separation process for treatment of landfill leachate and other liquid wastes. To evaluate performance features, the following critical objectives were developed for the SITE [Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation] Demonstration: (1) determine if the technology could met the developer`s claims for contaminant rejection of greater than 90% for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), greater than 92% for total organic carbon (TOC), and greater than 99% for total dissolved solids (TDS) and metals; (2) determine if the technology could achieve and maintain a systems treated water recovery rate of 75% or greater; and (3) evaluate the DTM technology`s resistance to membrane fouling and scaling by determining the change in flux as a result of liquid waste (leachate) treatment over the course of the demonstration.
