Preface
Preface
Welcome to the Water Environment Federation‘s (WEF’s) publication on Membrane Systems for Wastewater Treatment! This publication is a comprehensive educational text for professionals concerned with membrane equipment, systems, and processes in wastewater treatment and reclamation.
Membrane Systems for Wastewater Treatment provides a comprehensive overview of the various technologies and their applications in the field of wastewater treatment. This publication is not intended to be a design manual but rather an overview of the system configurations and components, as well as general operations and maintenance procedures. WEF recognizes the huge potential of membrane applications for wastewater treatment. This publication is intended to put practical information about these systems into the hands of wastewater professionals in order to promote the assessment of membrane technologies as a potential wastewater treatment alternative.
Membrane Systems for Wastewater Treatment covers some background information on general membrane topics prior to covering details on wastewater applications. The three primary wastewater membrane applications covered in this publication are:
• Membrane bioreactors;
• Low pressure membranes (microfiltration/ultrafiltration) for effluent filtration; and
• Nanofiltration/reverse osmosis for advanced post-treatment.
The discussion on each of these applications includes the common process configurations, unique operational considerations, monitoring and control equipment and strategies, general cleaning and maintenance procedures as well as examples of troubleshooting guidance. Case studies are included in the last chapter.
This publication was primarily written to contribute to the resources and information available to wastewater professionals including operators, maintenance technicians, utility managers, engineers/consultants and engineering students.
Membrane technologies and applications in wastewater treatment and reclamation are evolving. Rapid progress, including the development of new membrane materials, configurations and operational strategies, makes this an exciting time to work with these systems. WEF recognizes that this material will require review and update more frequently than many other wastewater topics. We urge the users of this Manual to submit any comments and suggested updates for consideration for inclusion in future editions of this publication. These comments will be gratefully accepted at optrain@.
