本文首先提供了佛罗里达州东南部预计人口增长、该地区需水量增加、水资源可用性、废水管理、遵守更多法规的背景信息 严格的环境法规和替代供水。这项研究建议记录增加水资源的潜力 水处理厂层面的回收作为替代供水方法 重新获得目前因浪费而失去的水资源，从而在未来实现更大的灵活性 允许水资源的利用和延伸。研究方法包括以下内容: 从CDM中试工厂的纳滤（NF）浓缩物开始 （回收率为85-90%）； 设定目标通量并监控反渗透（R/O）性能 （流量=4-14 gpd/ft2[压力=100-130 psi]， 测量水传递系数）； 确定预处理效果；和 描述潜在的污垢。包括23个参考文献、图表。

This paper begins by providing background information on the projected population growth in southeast Florida, the increase in the area's water demand, the availability of water resources, management of wastewater, compliance with more stringent environmental regulations, and alternative water supplies. The study proposes to document the potential for increasing the water recovery at the water treatment plant level as an alternative water supply methodology to recapture water resources currently lost to waste, thereby allowing greater flexibility in the utilization and stretching of permitted water resources. Study methodology included the following: start with nanofiltration (NF) concentrate from CDM pilot plant (recovery = 85 - 90%); set target flux and monitor reverse osmosis (R/O) performance (flux = 4 - 14 gpd/ft2 [Pressures = 100 - 130 psi], measure water transfer coefficient); determine pretreatment effects; and, characterize potential fouling. Includes 23 references, figures.
