This presentation will summarize findings of a literature search and utility survey on the effects of large wildfires on water quality, especially in regards to membrane microfiltration and pre-treatment systems. The intent is to illuminate potential mitigation measures that can be taken to improve membrane feed water quality after a large-scale fi...

This presentation provides an overview of pretreatment options for membrane systems. Typical raw water quality variations will be summarized along with the impacts of these variations on membrane systems. Options for pretreatment to adjust raw water quality will be described, along the with the operations of pretreatment systems, with emphasis on...
