How Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Systems WorkAlisha Roy
Reverse Osmosis is a process in which dissolved inorganic solids (such as salts) are removed from a solution (such as water). This is accomplished by household water pressure pushing the tap water through a semi permeable membrane. The membrane (which is about as thick as cellophane) allows only the water to pass through, not the impurities or contaminates. http://catalogs.indiamart.com/products/reverse-osmosis-systems.html
Reverse Osmosis module design and engineering emerged with membrane technology
evolution. In order to understand module design, first membrane configuration needs to be
explored, since the module design is always tailored according to the membrane
characteristics. There is a significant difference between membrane chemistries (most
important ones being cellulose acetate and thin film composite with polyamide barrier
layer), and more importantly, between the different membrane configurations (hollow fine
fiber and flat sheet). Therefore, before looking into detail on the module configuration, the
membrane development needs to be considered.
Sludge dewatering is a prior process to manage the sludge. The dewatering requires to decrease the volume of sludge for easy handling. It has two methods: Conventional and advance.

This powerpoint presentation describes the concept of safe and wholesome water, daily requirements of water, sources of water supply (describing each sources in brief) but giving emphasis on sanitary well, purification of water on a large scale in brief and purification of water on small scale focusing on household level and disinfection of well. Emphasis is given on chlorination.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. OSMOSIS:
• Osmosis is a natural phenomenon that provides water to all animal and
vegetable cells to support life.
• Water moves from a high concentration of water (less sugar/salt dissolved
in it) to a low concentration of water (more salt/sugar dissolved in it)
across a semi-permeable membrane
• This means that water can cross a selectively permeable membrane from
a dilute solution (less dissolved in it) to a concentrated solution (more
dissolved in it)
4. NET MOVWMENT WATER MOLECULES
•A semi-permeable membrane is a membrane which will allow only
certain molecules or ions to pass through
• Osmosis is very important in biology as it provides the primary means
by which water is transported in and out of cells
5. OSMOSIS : WORKING PROCESS
• Feed water flows into RO unit with the force of line pressure
• Water is forced through membrane by cross flow filtration
• Cross flow filtration is most commonly used in RO as it allows
membrane to continually clean itself
• Membrane then either rejects or repels contaminants
• Two exit streams generated: waste & product stream
• Waste stream consists of: A concentrate (reject) stream which carries
contaminants (compounds too large to pass through membrane)
• Permeate stream consists of: Product water which has been forced
through the membrane & is virtually free of TDS
6. REVERSE OSMOSIS:
• RO is a form of filtration using osmosis in reverse
• Water passes from a more concentrated solution to a less
concentrated solution
• To accomplish this a force or pressure MUST be applied
• RO requires 1 psi of pressure for every 100 ppm of TDS
• RO is used to remove dissolved solids from water but it can
also improve taste, odor & color of water
• RO membranes have the capability to remove particles as
small as ions i.e. magnesium ions or sodium ions
• RO membrane will reject most compounds based largely on
size
• Dissolved ions, such as salts, carry an electric charge and will
also be rejected by membrane
8. RO FUNDAMENTALS:
FEED WATER: Main flow of impure water to be treated;
PRODUCT WATER:Portion of fee d water which passes through membrane
as permeate
REJECT WATER: Portion of feed water which did not pass through
membrane; carries impurities to drain
MODULE: Combination of spiral round membrane element &
pressure vessel
9. RO
MEMBRANE:
•Membrane is the work-horse of an reverse osmosis system
• When choosing an RO system you must do so wisely – taking into account
water quality is very important
• Two main types of membranes:
1. CTA membrane:• Cellulose acetate/triacetate
blend• Provides lowest cost per gallon of
water• Resists chlorine but has a lower flow rate limit in
applications of high water consumption
2. TFC membrane:• Thin film/thin layer
composite• Can handle high flow, has a high rejection rate & can
handle high water consumption
• Cannot handle chlorine concentrations; water must be
carbon pre- filtered

11. PARAMETERS THAT AFFECT
RO:Water Temperature:RO system ratings are based on 770F/ 250C water
temperaturei.e. : RO system rated at 20 GPD (gallons per day) at
340F/10C will only produce 6 GPD
Feed Water
Pressure:
A lack in water pressure (less than 40 PSI) will reduce
product water; this can be helped with the aid of a
booster pump
Contaminants in
Feed Water:
Large particles, iron concentration or high levels of
hardness in feedwater can cause clogging of the
membrane can decrease its life
Microorganisms: RO membranes can filter out bacteria, depending on the
bacteria size, however this may cause fouling of the
membrane as bacteria can begin to grow through pores
of membrane causing BACTERIA CREEP – RO systems
should not be installed on non-potable
12. RO SYSTEMS CAN REMOVE THE FOLLOWING CONTAMINANTS
• Dissolved solids = TDS (salts & minerals) – UP TO 2000 ppm
• Most Heavy metals (lead, mercury,
silver)
• Most radioactive elements
• RO systems may not be capable of removing
nitrates to recommended levels
13. RO TREATED WATER:
• RO systems will remove up to 97% (depending on
parameters) of salts in water bringing it closer to a level of
‘pure water’• The purer the water, the more aggressive it will be with
materials it comes in contact with feed water
• THEREFORE RO can be slightly corrosive
• It’s recommended NEVER to use copper piping on RO water

AIR GAP FAUCET
15. AIR-GAP FAUCETS:
• ‘Air gap’ faucet is a plumbing device designed to provide a siphon break
for an under-sink reverse osmosis unit
• It is a valve used to isolate one part of a water system
from the drain
• Air gaps are designed to prevent backflow by incorporating a “backflow
prevention” method called an ‘air gap’
• Some plumbing codes do enforce the use of an Air
Gap faucet
• Purpose of an air gap faucet is to assure that no water from a
stopped-up sink can possibly be forced backward into your reverse
osmosis system unit via its drain connection
16. RO SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE:When to Replace Pre-
filters:
• Every 6 months for normal installations.
• After a Boil Water Advisory (BWA)
When to Replace Post-filters:• Every 6 months, depending on water conditio
• Noticeable decrease in water production
indicates that the pre-filter should be
changed.• After microbiological contamination,
such as in a Boil Water Advisory
(BWA)
17. When to Replace the Membrane:
• Typically, every 18 months to 3 years
• Test using a TDS (total dissolved solids) meter. Replace a
membrane below 80% TDS reduction.
• This will depend on influent water quality, usage, pre & post
filter maintenance• Maintain filters, lengthen life of membrane!!!
18. TROUBLESHOOTIN
G:No Permeate Water: • Membrane
Fouling• Pre-filter Fouling
• Inadequate Pressure
Slow Flow at the
Faucet:
• Air Charge
• Tank not
filling• Installation of tank,
tubing length
• Inadequate
Pressure
19. QUICK CONNECT
FITTINGS:• RO systems cannot be installed using copper piping as product
water is slightly aggressive
• Plastic tubing is most commonly used in RO installations
• Pipe connections are accomplished using Quick Connect Fittings
• Quick Connect fittings do NOT need any
additional special tools
• Simply cut tube square & insert into
QC fitting to accomplish a secure
connection
