More Communities are Turning to Membrane Technology

Increasing regulatory standardsespecially regardingdisinfectant by-products and waterborne pathogens

Limited and deteriorating supplies require the use of alternative water sources

Growing demand due to population growth

Technological innovation leading todevelopment of low cost, high quality water treatment solutions

Retrofit of old technologyto protect the public from aging or underperforming systems

ZeeWeed Membranes offer cost effective solutions

Clean, Safe Drinking Water is a Basic Right

Increasingly stringent regulatory requirements to provide pathogen free drinking water 100% of time

Inadequate turbidity removal is directly correlated to increased gastro-intestinal illness. UF provides <0.1 NTU, 99% of time.

Membranes are the Key to Superior Drinking Water Quality

Hollow strands of porous plastic fibers with billions of microscopic pores on the surface

The pores are thousands of times smaller in diameter than a human hair

Pores form a physical barrier to impurities but allow pure water to pass

Clean water is drawn to the inside of fiber by a gentle suction

ZeeWeed Membrane Cleaning

Maintenance clean

Membranes contacted with either 50 - 100 mg/L sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) or citric acid at pH 2.2-2.5

Cleaning interval: Daily-Weekly

Duration : Approx. 25 minutes & scheduled through the PLC

Recovery Clean

High strength chemical clean to return membranes back to full efficiency with 500 mg/L NaOCl or 2 g/L citric acid

Initiated when a train reaches maximum TMP (typically 12-13 psig or 83-90 kPa)

Typical frequency: 1-6 months

Typical duration: 6 hours

Membrane Integrity MonitoringIndirect monitoring:• Turbidity monitoring on each train• Optional particle counting on each train

Direct monitoring: Pressure decay testing• Typically automated offline test• Detects 3 micron leaks (69 kPa test

pressure)• Decay can be correlated to a log removal

value across the membranes (ASTM, LT2ESWTR)

Organics Removal

Color and DOC removal & DBP reduction• Up to 95% color removal

possible• Up to 75% TOC removal

possibleMinimize colloidal and organic

foulingEffective pre-treatment required

• coagulant mixing and dosing• pH control

– minimize membrane fouling

– reduce dissolved metals• PAC if taste and odor control

also required

Pin sized floc sufficient• Lower coagulant dose• Shorter HRT in flocculation tank• Reduced sludge formation

Footprint for a membrane plant is smaller since:• Clarification not required• Lower HRT needed for

flocculation allows for smaller tank

• The configuration of the ZeeWeed 1000 modular cassettes provided the best fit into the plant’s existing granular filter media basins

• Expanded treatment capacity from 2.8 MGD to 6.0 MGD

• Compact footprint, high quality water, resistance to turbidity and cost were the main factors for the selection
