Introduction to Membrane Treatment
This presentation will introduce the spectrum of membranes used in home, municipal, and industrial applications. The membranes types will be reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, and membrane bioreactors. We will highlight the attributes of each membrane type ranging from what is rejected to the pressures required to ac...
Membrane Applications in Iowa and Regulatory Considerations
Membranes used for drinking water in Iowa is becoming a more common treatment alternative. High pressure membranes are used to remove regulated and unregulated contaminamts such as nitrate, ammoina, and dissolved minerals. Discharge of the concentrate stream can be challenging and the limiting factor in selection of this alternative....
Membranes in the Midwest - Pre-treatment Considerations
As membrane treatment becomes a popular and cost-effective choice to meet ever-growing drinking water regulations and ever-worsening source water quality in the Mid-West, optimizing the membrane pretreatment approach becomes extremely important. This presentation will cover the aspects of the membrane pre-treatment evaluation, with an emphasis on ...
Data Collection and Normalization
The presentation will focus on the importance of accurate data collection, and the analysis of the operating data to provide support in optimizing the operation of membrane treatment systems. Beyond simple data collection, how can the data be used to provide insight into the effectiveness of current operations, and point to potential improvements. ...
Membranes in Industrial Applications
Prestage Foods is building the most modern and technologically advanced pork processing plant in North Central Iowa. Construction began in the Spring of 2017 with the project opening to be in late 2018. With a facility of this size, water quantity and quality was a main concern. Requirements for the water quality could only be met through membrane ...
Membrane Process Optimization: Chemistry & Analytical Techniques
Optimizing membrane performance has always involved looking at operations, system design, and process design as part of a typical troubleshooting approach. There are significant advancements in the realm of system diganostics and membrane perfomance analysis that further ensure an accurate and reliable outcome. This presentation will review how mem...
North Liberty Water System Improvements
The presentation will cover the North Liberty water system and the commities need for expanding the treatment capacity and improving the water quality. It will include the pilot study that was completed in 2014 through the planning, design, construction, and start-up of the city's new 3.0 MGD nanofiltration treatment plant....
