Title

Nf Performance At Fell And Pilot Scale

Abstract

Productivity and water quality from the Roy W. Linkens membrane facility in palm coast, Fla, were accurately simulated by three membrane pilot plants in a four months fileds investigation using various sizes of a film membrane manufactured by the same company and operated under the same conditions. All plants used the same source water, groundwater that is moderately hard (300 mg/L as CaCo3) and highly organic (11 mg/L non-purgeble dissolved organic carbon, 336 trihalmethen formation potential [THMEP], 227 μg/L halocetic acid formation potential [HAAFP]). All pilot units were built and operated according to standards in the Information Collection Rule(ICR). The average finished water quality for all membranes plants was 0.4mg/L total organic carbon as C, 35 μ/L THFMP, and 28 HAAFP. For the full-scale plant, membrane producivity decresed by 50 percent during five years. A second-order resistence models more accurately described productivity over time than did a zero-order direct mass transfer models, although both models produced statistcally significant results. Theses results demonestrated that full-scale plants performance could be accurately scaled up from single-elements or multistage pilot plants as specified in the ICR protocol.
