This paper also discusses how an innovative evaluated bid process was used for selection and procurement of the membrane treatment system. Implementation of a 50 MGD Low-Pressure Membrane Filtration System for the Existing Racine Water Treatment Facility...

This paper presents a summary of analyses conducted for the City of Highland Park, IL evaluating the implementation of membrane filtration for increased capacity and/or advanced disinfection and comparing the economics to various alternative treatment strategies....

Overview of the design, construction and commissioning issues associated with retrofitting a conventional filter basin with membrane filtration technology...

This PowerPoint discusses microfiltration and ultrafiltration plant design considerations....

This presentation discusses microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membrane types, design parameters, raw water quality impacts, facility layout design, and system component design. The presentation begins with general terms and then transitions to design tips for pressure and submerged systems inclusive of equipment layout, pumps, piping, a...

This presentation provides a review of microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), and membrane bioreactor (MBR) technologies for municipal applications. Presentation topics include membrane types, terminology, feed and filtrate water quality, and system components. The presentation concludes with a comparison between MF/UF operations for drinking ...

Presentation provides an in-depth look at the use of microfiltration and ultrafiltration membrane applications. Both skid mounted and submerged configurations were reviewed with the relative benefits of each defined. The technologies are offered as effective tools for turbidity and pathogen removal or for pretreatment for complex nanofiltration or ...

Presents a discussion on the drivers to impliment membrane technology and an overview of membrane configurations. Discusses considerations for feed and product water quality with an basic overview of where low pressure membranes are typically applied....

This presentation from a preconference workshop in 2014 for Back to Basics on membrane technology discusses microfiltration and ultrafiltration water quality and how it influences system performance. System design and MF/UF applications are presented....

This paper provides a case history of the Highland Park Water Treatment Project, highlighting how repurposing existing structures was used to meet the project goals. The project involved retrofitting an existing 21 MGD facility with a modern 30 MGD submerged membrane system. Special attention was paid to the limited space available for this 40% inc...

The City of Highland Park, IL has recently completed implementation of a new 30 MGD submerged ultrafiltration membrane system into their existing drinking water treatment plant. Severe site constraints presented several challenges to the project and requried repurposing of many existing structures....

The presentation describes the pilot testing arrangement with an infiltration supply well, ultrafiltration pre-treatment system and three stages of NF membranes to simulate full scale operation to reduce TOC to less than 0.8 mg/L. The pilot equipment was operated for three months at 90% to 96% recovery, and operational data were collected on pressu...
