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 […]
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 […]
