Abstract

The Town of Jupiter, Floirda, planned a construction project of a 17.0 million gallon per day nanofiltration (NF) plant facilitated with groundwater reverse osmosis (RO) plant with an aim to reduce trihalomethane (THM) and haloacetic acid (HAA) formation potential. The project also carried out an eight-inch pilot operation for both feed modes including the decision to incorporate a sand filter as additional pretreatment ahead of the cartridge filter. The town's 4-in NF pilot unit was configured to stimulate a center port feed system as the full scale design was conceived to be a two-stage, 6-element, 85% recovery system. The system was tested and commissioned with a 13-day window with an installation of a small booster pump to allow for a proper suction pressure to the membrane feed pump influencing the membrane balancing and performance, and the new configuration based on this pilot plan demonstrated immediate improvements thereby reducing 5% of permeate flows.
