This presentation will discuss membrane filtration technologies. The variations in the technologies including polymer chemistry, pore size differences, flow configurations, and module format will be discussed. In addition the typical applications for these products will be included....

This session will provide an overview of MF/UF systems in operation and will discuss troubleshooting of these membranes in several applications including water and wastewater treatment. Among these examples include applications of MF/UF technology for RO pretreatment, industrial wastewater treatment and reuse, domestic wastewater treatment, groundw...

The SEDA Membrane Operator Certification (MOC) School is the first program of its kind that is geared specifically towards training of membrane treatment facility operators in municiple water and wastewater applications. The MOC program provides both introductory and advanced level training courses that qualify for in-state CEUs for licensed opera...

The automation industry has transformed rapidly over the past decade, which has enabled the growth of MF/UF technologies. MF/UF technologies need advanced control systems by their nature. The number of actuated valves and well timed control sequences required of modern systems has helped keep capital costs lower by minimizing non-production time o...

This topic will be on the construction of a membrane plant and 11 years of history and what we like about the plant and things we would change if we had it all to do over again....

The discharge of wastewaters by industry is subject to stringent regulation by local, municipal, and federal agencies. Although regulations may vary, the need for improved pretreatment is generally recognized and is being enforced. Cross flow membranes provide best available technology - in a cost-effective, reliable, and less labor-intensive way...

Modern day advances in analytical techniques have evolved the Ultrafiltration and Microfiltration (UF/MF) autopsy into a highly advanced science. Fiber profiling techniques, Chromatic Elemental Imaging (CEI), along with cleaning studies including single fiber performance data have allowed for a more accurate and in-depth treatment of fouling. This ...

MBR technology has become more accessible as costs have come down and issues have been addressed. Several recent surveys have been used to prioritize technological and application challenges. Innovations in four areas suggest the rapid growth trend will continue with installed capacity increasing from an estimated 0.7 BGD to 2.6 BGD in 2026. Top...

Steps in designing a membrane treatment facility will be discussed. Critical steps such as water quality needs, plant capacity, number of membrane units, relationship between membrane and upstream/downstream equipment, waste production consideration, power consumption estimates will also be discussed....

This session covers intergrity testing theory and application for hollo fiber membranes. Attendees will receive backgound of what intergrity is and how it applies to daily memrbane operations, along with startegies and approaches to manage membrane intergrity in a practical setting....

In this session, I will address how the Tennessee Division of Water Resources evaluates the application of membrane technology for both drinking water and wastewater treatment. This presentation will include a discussion of the division's approach for reviewing designs and requirements for operation and maintenance. In addition, the current univers...

Low pressure membranes (hollow fiber micro- and ultrafiltration) have been employed in the production of industrial and potable water for two decades. The use of low pressure membrane technology has increased exponentially in this period. Low pressure membranes have been found to be able to replace conventional treatment systems, such as media filt...
