The overall objective of this project was to identify and examine the key issues related to
retrofitting existing granular media filters with membrane media filters in large water utilities.
Specific objectives of the project were to:
develop full-scale membrane system design for retrofitting the Kansas City Water Services
Department (KCWSD) water treatment plant with membranes selected for specific
characteristics that make them well suited for the application;
develop conceptual layouts detailing both gravity-fed and pumped membrane retrofit
scenarios at KCWSD based on the design parameters developed during pilot testing, (this
exercise included an analysis of integration issues such as the use of existing infrastructure,
ancillary equipment requirements, membrane integrity testing protocols, and operator
training requirements); and,
develop cost estimates for retrofitting existing granular media filters with membrane media
filters at the KCWSD water treatment plant. The paper discusses certain components of the approach used that include testing site, membranes tested, and testing protocol.
