This paper presents a study of the comparative features such as stable and cost-effective membrane operation of microfiltration (MF) versus direct media filtration (DMF). This research was conducted at a seawater desalination plant in the City of Busan in Korea for more than 2 years. The feasibility study (MF=>RO) was prepared to find the optimum o...

In this case study, a pressurized microfilter (MF) was used without pretreatment processes such as screening and coagulation. In order to overcome the fouling issue associated with the secondary effluent, the efforts to make were to find a more effective membrane cleaning method. The findings from the case study can be a base in designing and opera...

This study presents an effective case study that demonstrates successful removal of algae and compounds associated with taste and odor in an advanced process train: This paper presents results of one-year-study conducted at a drinking water plant in City of Incheon, Korea. The advanced treatment process that includes microfiltration has demonstra...

A conventional wastewater treatment process such as sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was successfully upgraded to a membrane bioreactor (MBR) at an Indian casino resort and hotel, Santa Ynez, California. The technical difficulties from existing process at the site including bar screen, SBR, sand filtration were relieved of by new biological membrane ...
