Addressing the Unique Constraints of Small-Scale Ultrafiltration Systems

Recent trends in membrane system design, such as the open-platform system concept, are discussed in this paper. In addition, the results of a pilot study are shown which demonstrate the effectiveness of ay Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes available on the market. Finally, case studies of challenging small-scale systems in Utah and Oregon are discussed. This paper describes a variety of design aspects considered by system engineers and equipment manufacturers when designing and building a membrane filtration plant
