A containerized WTP using inside-out ultrafiltration as pretreatment to brackish water RO membranes with blending was built for treating mine influenced water prior to discharge to a local waterway. It was found that water quality changed and caused rapid fouling of the membranes due to oxidized iron and manganese that even very frequent CIPs coul...

This presentation discusses how ultrafiltration (UF) membranes can be used to reduce trade waste costs by treating clarifier and backwash wastes. This presentation offers the following: Demonstrates how UF membranes can be used successfully in a nonconventional application with challenging feed water; Review of pilot technical data and results: lea...
