Abstract
There are several ultrafiltration (UF) systems on the market for pretreatment of desalinated water. Existing hollow-fiber UF systems usually focus on low TSS-loaded water sources (pressure-driven inside-out filtration) or higher loaded sources (submerged systems). This paper describes a newly developed product that bridges the feed water solids tolerance gap between these operational configurations, coupling the advantages of a reinforced hollow-fiber UF membrane with a pressure-driven, outside-in filtration process. Experiences and key findings from several pilot trials at different locations and diverse feed water compositions are summarized.
