The City of Kennewick's Water Filtration Plant (WFP) treats water from the
Columbia River. The WFP Improvements Project converted the seasonally used 7.5-mgd
conventional treatment plant to a 15-mgd membrane treatment plant for year-round water
production.
The WFP Improvements Project was constructed in three phases, with
construction occurring in the winter season when the WFP was not in service. Each
construction phase included startup, operator training, and modification of operating
strategies to accommodate new systems, chemicals, and reporting requirements to the
Washington State Department of Health (DOH).
This poster paper focuses on the operating strategies, procedures, and activities
associated with the major process changes required when integrating submerged
membrane technology into a conventional water treatment plant. Includes tables, figures.
