The main objective of this project is to investigate the key issues of membrane integration into
existing water treatment works. In this project, an integration manual, a computer-based
decision tool, and 15 detailed utility interviews were conducted to develop a
comprehensive evaluation of the issues associated with membrane integration.
The specific objective of this paper is to highlight findings associated with the following
membrane integration issues:
regulatory influence concerning what regulations are influencing utilities to integrate
membranes, and how do these regulations differ from country to country;
pre-treatment concerning the impacts of different levels and types of pre-treatment on
downstream membrane systems;
integrity testing concerning how utilities are performing integrity tests, and what criteria
determine integrity failure; and,
secondary membrane treatment concerning the issues associated with using
secondary membrane systems. Includes 10 references.
