Grimes Reverse Osmosis Water Plant
New 3.5 MGD reverse osmosis plant introduction and overview. Experiences of starting up a new reverse osmosis plant including the trains themselves, chemical feed systems, pumps for distribution, and overall building systems. Grimes need for more water production was the reason for the new, larger reverse osmosis plant. Remodeled 1.4 MGD lime softening plant for […]
Town of Walkersville, Maryland Integrated Membrane Water Treatment Plant
The ground water wells in town of walkersville were known to be under the influence of surface water. In 1999, a rupture in a sewer line caused over a million gallons of raw sewage into the Town’s well aquifer, causing plant shutdown, boil water notices, and pumping raw water to the sewer system for weeks. […]
Mid-West Membrane Projects: Lessons Learned from Pilot Study and Full-Scale Start-Ups
Learn about some common and not so common trials and tribulations of conducting RO/NF pilot studies and starting up full-scale RO/NF water treatment plants. The RO/NF process and the science behind it doesn’t change, but every project is unique in design as far as size, feed water source, pretreatment, piping arrangement, instrumentation, etc. which can […]
Pilot Study and Full-Scale Implementation of Greensand Filtration & Reverse Osmosis at Prestage Foods
This presentation covers the pilot study or iron removal filtration followed by reverse osmosis and the subsequent full scale system design and implementation at Prestage Foods in Eagle Grove, Iowa. This treatment system was to provide all site water requirements for the new Prestage pork processing facility. The challenges with iron removal and fouling of […]
Ceramic Pilot Testing for Potential Use in a 10+ Year Old Polymeric Membrane Plant
The Mandaree WTP has been using pressure UF membranes for 10+ years. As the modules reach the end of their life, and in consideration of increased plant capacity a ceramic membrane pilot was completed. This presentation will present the results of the pilot study.
