Abstract

Significant benefits can be achieved through the optimization of full-scale MF/UF installations. To date, the membrane system optimization program at Racine, WI has increased system capacity by reducing the duration of downtime activities and has identified potential cost saving strategies to lower total annual operating costs of the membrane system by more than 10%. Optimization at Manitowoc, WI has also significantly lowered chemical costs and improved the redundancy of that treatment system. Membrane treatment facilities in other locations would likely benefit from similar optimization investigations.
