Membrane treatment of high turbidity water - pilot studies on New Zealand river water
06/09/2010
This paper presents results from pilot studies undertaken on highly variable, turbid river water in New Zealand, with naturally occurring high organic matter levels. The LP MF system continuously provided excellent filtrate water quality, while handling turbidity spikes of up to 450 NTU without the need to shut down. The MF system reliably removed the targeted contaminants of concern, as well as demonstrating low rates of fouling over months of continuous operation.
