Design of membrane systems requires consideration of both water quality andproductivity goals. Though water quality capabilities of various membraneprocesses can be readily defined, operational performance can be highly variableand is source water specific. Surface waters generally have a higher foulingpotential than groundwater and seawater and are especially difficult to predict.This paper presents results from a 15 month pilot-scale evaluation of IntegratedMembrane Systems (IMS) for treatment of the Hillsborough River in Tampa, Florida.Water quality and operational results are reviewed. In addition, foulingmechanisms, critical design criteria, and costs are presented. Includes 2 references, tables, figures.
