Membrane Processes
The presenations will provide a background on membrane processes for water treatment including RO, NF, MF and UF along with basic terminology and key points.
Maintenance and Operations at Olathe
The presentation will cover online and offline Maintenance programs for the Pall Membrane Filtration System. It will also cover troubleshooting moisture in the air operated valves. It will briefly cover […]
Troubleshooting Membrane Systems
This topic will specifically focus on the needs of the audience and answer questions about operational issues as it relates to the Membrane Filtration System at their respective plant. The […]
Pin ‘Em or Punt ‘Em – Aging Membrane Module Maintenance/Replacement
Presentation will show how maintenance procedures developed by Olathe staff to identify fiber breaks, pinning procedures and pin tracking methods were used to track the condition of aged membrane modules. […]
Membrane Applications in the Midwest
This presentation will give a brief overview of RO technology and its application in midwest region with examples. The first example is Fargo membrane plant that has been recently constructed. […]
WaterOne’s Membrane Maintenance Practices
WaterOne has been using membrane filtration at its Wolcott Treatment Facility for almost 10 years. The membranes are still performing well with few problems. One reason for this is attention […]
Plant Design Considerations
Overview of and introduction to membrane plant design considerations for both microfiltration and ultrafiltration (MF/UF), i.e., low pressure filtration membranes, as well as for reverse osmosis and nanofiltration (RO/NF) membranes. […]
Reverse Osmosis and Membrane Softening
This presentation will provide data specific to the mid-west on water treatment considerations and benefits when evaluationg reverse osmosis or membrane softening. Water supply, pilot study, pretreatment, process design, operation […]
Use of High Rate Lime Softening Followed by UF Membranes
This presentation will focus on the use of high rate lime softening process followed by UF membrane filtration. Two plants use surface water, while a thrid uses a groundwater source. […]
Discussion of Regional UF/MF and RO Facilities and Plant Activity
The use of membrane water treatment technology in the midwest is gathering momentum. There are significant reasons for this: changing water quality, the need for more robust water treatment, and […]
