With the rapidly expanding application of microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF), the
disposal of treatment residuals has created new problems and challenges. The types of residuals
and their characteristics depend upon the design and operation of the MF/UF, and the quality of
the water being treated. The feasible disposal options are regulated by a number of
environmental regulations. If no coagulants are used, a wider range of disposal options should
be available to MF/UF facilities. This paper summarizes the characteristics of MF/UF residuals,
the regulatory situation concerning their handling and disposal, and the current practices for
treatment and disposal of the residuals. Includes 8 references, tables, figures.
