This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of using microfiltration/ultrafiltration (MF/UF) for pathogen and turbidity control, and the advantages and limitations of ceramic membranes. A pilot program at the South Bakersfield Water Treatment Plant is presented that had the following components: water source from the
Kern River via multiple canal systems;
feedwater usually below 1.0 ntu,
but flashy (storm events);
challenging conveyance systems -
risk of periodic organic spills;
taste & odor events; MF/UF selected as filtration process based on past
success;
pilot test with three membrane systems -
GE Zenon (40-50 gfd),
Siemens CP (45-55 gfd), and
NGK Ceramic (107 gfd);
allow Pall to bid based on past Cal Water
experience at two other WTPs on the Kern River; and,
pretreatment alternatives. Pilot results are provided for ceramic vs. polymeric MF/UF, and for a challenging surface water. A relative cost example is provided for ceramic costs relative to polymeric costs. Includes tables, figures.
