Glossary

Agricultural water :

Water used for crop production and livestock growth.

Concentrate (also called retentate) :

The portion of the feed stream that contains salts rejected from the membrane system. The term can also refer to the rejected mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) in a membrane bioreactor (MBR) process, which is recycled or wasted to maintain a given biomass concentration in the biological treatment process.

Conventional treatment :

Technologies such as activated sludge and trickling filters that remove BOD and suspended solids from wastewater. Conventional treatment technologies are often combined with anoxic, anaerobic, and aerobic processes for nutrient removal.

Direct potable reuse :

Introduction of reclaimed water directly into a drinking water distribution system, without intervening storage or additional treatment.

Indirect potable reuse :

Augmentation of a raw water supply with reclaimed water followed by an environmental buffer. The mixture of raw and...
