Best Practices for Improving  MF/UF Operations
Presenters: Scott Freeman, Membrane Medic; Richard Stratton/Randy Houston, HDR; Omogbemiga Talabi/Don Henderson, City of Scottsdale

Microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membrane processes are used in conjunction with various unit processes to provide a high level of particulate, turbidity, and microorganism removal for the production of drinking water.  This webinar will discuss approaches to solving a variety of operational challenges learned from years working with and around membrane systems. 

Best Practices to be addressed:

1.    Adapting to source water quality changes

2.    Information for warranty claims

3.    Locating problems during troubleshooting

4.     Optimizing coagulation dosing

Membrane Treatment Provides Pathogen Removal Credits
Presenters: James Vickers, Separation Processes, Inc.; Amos Branch, Carollo Engineers, Inc.; Christopher Morrow, DuPont Water Solutions

Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) are able to produce high quality effluent with improved solids handling in a smaller footprint than conventional activated sludge processes. Presenters will discuss the implementation of MBR systems in potable reuse application and results of studies evaluating log removal values for meeting future regulations.

As a result of this webinar, the attendees will be able to: 

1.     Understand how MBRs can be used in potable reuse application

2.     Learn validation results of a full-scale MBR validation study and how that relates to validation for potable reuse applications

3.     Understand the distinct advantages of MBRs in advanced IPR/DPR

Thursday, August 13 | 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Mountain Time
Concentrate Management
Presenters: Robert McCandless, Brown & Caldwell; Gil Hurwitz, Black & Veatch; Ethan Demeter, Magna Imperio Systems Corp.

This webinar will provide information and examples of membrane solids management from both high-recovery processes such as zero-liquid discharge, or conventional options. Given the challenges of concentrate management, it is prudent to explore all beneficial use options early in project planning or through studies and field testing.  A combination of methods linking more conventional options with beneficial use may provide redundancy, reliability, and potential cost savings.  Join experts as they explore alternatives for solids produced by conventional and high-recovery methods.

Learning Objectives:

1.    Understand the planning requirements for high-quality process water and a closed-loop, zero-liquid discharge system.

2.     Learn about the process improvements realized through  pre-concentration

3.     Introduction to a groundwater closed-circuit RO demonstration facility
 

Tuesday, August 18 | 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.. Mountain Time
Ceramic and Polymeric UF Membranes
Presenters: Yue Sun, Adurra Group; Matthew Erickson, AE2S; Daniel Dye, WesTech Engineering, Inc.

Ceramic and polymeric membranes are increasingly used in a broad range of applications due to their resilient material of construction and ability to operate under intense circumstances.  This session will take a look at performance comparison of a ceramic membrane filtration system and a traditional polymeric membrane system, pre-treatment influences on operational parameters and lessons learned from the commissioning of both a ceramic membrane system and a polymeric systems.

As a result of this webinar, the attendees will: 

1.    Understand when it may be beneficial to choose ceramic versus polymeric membranes

2.    Have valuable information for those looking for case studies on the application and performance of a two-stage system

3.     Option for using ceramic membranes to reduce DBP formation

Thursday, August 20 | 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Mountain Time
