Upgrading a Drinking Water Membrane Plant with Ceramic Membranes
Membrane treatment plants represent efficient and effective means of treating various source waters. Microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes are capable of removing particulate, bacteria and some viruses. When membrane […]
Overview of Pretreatment for Membrane Technologies
Introduction to Membrane Treatment
This presentation will introduce the spectrum of membranes used in home, municipal, and industrial applications. The membranes types will be reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, and membrane bioreactors. We will […]
Membranes in the Midwest – Pilot Testing Considerations
This paper will present the basic considerations for setting up a pilot testing protocol for membrane applications on both groundwater and surface water. A description of the types of pilot […]
Data Monitoring, Normalization and Membrane Cleaning
This 30 minute presentation will discusses the most effective procedures for membrane cleaning, and explains the role of high pH and low pH cleaning chemicals. As well as the value […]
All Things End Cap Assembly
The end cap assembly is a critical component within the pressure vessel. Properly maintained and secured end caps reduce safety risks and concerns and ensure that the pressure vessel can […]
Upper Hocking Water Pollution Control Facility
Lancaster’s Upper Hocking WPCF is a novel membrane bioreactor treatment facility with a current rated capacity of 2 MGD and detailed design underway on an additional 2-MGD expansion. Following influent […]
City of Lancaster South Water Plant Overview
