MF/UF Residuals - Lessons Learned
This presentation discusses the types of microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) residual streams, residual handling approaches, MF/UF system design considerations, and a case study from the Bajamont Way Water Treatment Plant in Carmichael, California. The discussion includes water chemistry concerns related to chemical cleaning solutions and...
MF / UF Technologies
Presentation will focus on the basics of MF/UF Membrane filtration. Topics will include the basic types of membranes, materials of construction, glossary of terms used, and basic application parameters for consideration by someone seeking to apply MF/UF technology....
Membrane Integrity Testing
This session covers intergrity testing theory and application for hollo fiber membranes. Attendees will receive backgound of what intergrity is and how it applies to daily memrbane operations, along with startegies and approaches to manage membrane intergrity in a practical setting....

MBR Troubleshooting: Identifying Fouling Causes
This presentation discusses the causes and solutions for fouling problems with MBR processes. We will review the impact of the biological treatment, influent loads, influent constituents, and ancillary systems have on the MBR process. We will further discuss and present a troubleshooting framework on identifying the source of fouling and how to re...
Make the Old New Again by Converting and Upgrading with a Different UF Membrane
This paper presents the planning and execution of the conversion of three existing UF skids at a power generation station in Indiana. The approach was deliberately minimally invasive to minimize the installation downtime and the extent of the process changes....
Quality Considerations in Membrane Production & Delivery of Polymeric Hollow Fiber Membranes
The presentation will be a look at how the hollow fiber membranes are made, tested, shipped, and installed (without discussing any trade secrets). We will focus on the polymeric hollow fiber technology, discussing the various production methods, QC under the MFGM, and best practices to ensure quality in installation....
