Water Softening with Ultrafiltration for Surface Waters: Keys to Successful Membrane Piloting
Project 7 Water Authority (P7WA) evaluated pellet softening as pretreatment for ultrafiltration (UF) for a surface water with low TOC but very high hardness at the pilot scale. In addition to demonstrating a successful membrane treatment process, this study provides an example of key piloting steps, from identifying project drivers and defining testable research questions […]
Designed for Interchangeability: Clifton Water District’s 12 mgd Open Platform UF Membrane System
In 2016, the Clifton Water District (CWD) finished a project to replace their 1980’s era media filters with ultrafiltration membrane technology. The $15 million project included retrofitting a 12 million gallon per day membrane filtration system inside of an existing filter building. The membrane system has been designed in an “Open Platform” configuration, meaning that […]

Lessons Learned Designing and Operating Membrane Filtration Systems
Implementation of Membrane Gravity Filtration (MGF)
Membrane Gravity Filtration (MGF) is an application for retrofitting gravity media filters using ultrafiltration membranes. It combines the simple operation of a media filter with the superior treated water quality of a UF membrane. MGF is best suited for applications where customers need better turbidity removal, a barrier to pathogens, or need to significantly increase […]
Lessons learned from design and operation of Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Facilities
This presentation presents the progress and applications of MBRs which provides the benefit of biological treatment process in a compact footprint and solids liquid separation for a high-quality effluent. In this paper, lessons learned and challenges from design and operation of MBR plants are presented. MBRs provide the pretreatment required for other treatment technologies such […]
Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Troubleshooting
An overview of several typical issues that plague MBR systems, and how to troubleshoot them. The presentation will also include a quick overview of common design issues we run into that can contribute to operational issues.
