Integration of Membrane Filtration Into Water Treatment Systems (Subject Area: High-Quality Water)

The objective of this project was to examine the process and design implications associated with the integration of membranes into existing water treatment plants and process schemes. This report contains a detailed literature review plus reports on the design challenges, operational issues, and performance based on experience from utilities. Included is a simple decision-making tool to assist users in selecting the most appropriate membrane technology to treat a given contaminant in the feed water.
