The Evaluation of Cloth Media Filtration (CMF) as Pretreatment to UF in Wastewater Reuse Applications

This paper is a case study that discusses the use of cloth media filtration as a pretreatment to ultrafiltration for waste water applications. Covered are the possible reasons for this approach and the performance of a system that filtered the wastewater using an inside-to-outside flow path that eliminates the need for cleaning with an air-scour system. Results of the testing are covered on one membrane module supplier?s products.
