To assess the feasibility of reverse osmosis (RO) in the SRC-I Demonstration Plant, Catalytic, Inc. conducted tests on biologically treated wastewaters generated during other studies. The efficacy of the post-bio-oxidation treatment steps, including tar acid precipitation, filtration, softening, carbon adsorption, and ozonation, was first evaluated to determine if these steps met the requirements recommended by RO membrane manufacturers. The pretreated wastewaters were then used to run 400-h RO flat cell tests. As a secondary objective, the studies were conducted to generate samples for toxicology testing, since the treated wastewaters might at times be discharged into the river. 12 references, 50 figures, 20 tables.
