Long-Term Performance Comparison of Side by Side Pressure and Submerged Ultrafiltration Plants Treating Surface Water
Long-Term Performance Comparison of Side by Side Pressure and Submerged Ultrafiltration Plants Treating Surface Water
Long Term Performance Comparison: Side by Side Pressure & Submerged Ultrafiltration Plants Treating Surface Water
The Town of Erie (Town), Colorado operates a water treatment plant with both pressurized and submerged ultrafiltration systems side by side. There are few facilities world-wide that have side by side systems limiting the ability for actual operational comparisons. This paper will provide a comparison of the pressure and submerged systems operati...
Best Practices for MF/UF Cleaning - Examining Operating Plant Methods
Membrane filtration plants require chemical cleaning to maintain productivity. However, cleaning practices vary greatly among operating plants due to differences in manufacturers, needs of the system, and training of plant staff. This presentation examines cleaning practices from two operating plants to compare similarities, contrast differences,...
Cherokee Metro District's TDS Reduction Facility: First MBR and High Recovery RO Reuse Facility in U.S.
Cherokee Metropolitan District (CMD) outside of Colorado Springs, CO currently operates a 4.8 mgd maximum month flow water reclamation facility (WRF) with sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) and ultraviolet disinfection. The WRF effluent is discharged to several rapid infiltration basins. The facility has a permit limit of 400 mg/L total dissolved sol...

Alternative Membrane Module Evaluation for the City of Thornton Submerged Membrane Plant
The City of Thornton (City), Colorado operates a 50 mgd water treatment plant (WTP) with a submerged ultrafiltration system. The Wes Brown Water Treatment Plant was originally constructed as a lime softening and conventional filtration plant. In 2005, the WTP was converted to a submerged membrane filtration plant using Suez membranes with coagulati...

An Approach to Membrane Filtration Cleaning Explored Through Three Case Studies
Poor performance from membrane filtration plants causes higher operating costs and can limit production. Performance issues generally can be classified as either fouling or fiber breaks. Fouling is a pervasive issue in membrane filtration impacting all facilities at some level. Fouling left unchecked compounds into irreversible damage to the membra...

Fundamentals of Monitoring Membrane Filtration Plants
Membrane filtration plants are complex systems which involve monitoring of varied types of data for performance and maintaining operations. This presentation willl present the different types of data encountered in treatment plants and how each type is used to monitor the system and react to changes. Examples from Colorado treatment plants and SC...
