    UF and NF operating logical

    How many UF and NF stages/trains will you have? If you have multiples, it is also possible to compensate for a stage/train being down by ramping the producing units to maintain a constant UF flow. Of course you will need to be a bit conservative on the UF design flux. With this said, it is...

    Seeking assistance regarding MBRs

    Your best bet is to contact one of the membrane suppliers as many of the operational issues are dependent upon the type and configuartion of the membrane. In my opinion, the best product on the market currently is the PURON product of Koch Membrane Systems, Inc. www.kochmembrane.com. Regards...

    Who's membranes are you using? What specific membrane?

    TMP or Flux as Control

    If this is a pilot system I would do both. Are you planning on performing pressure and flow excursion exercises as well? What UF tube are you planning on using? Sounds like you plan on running in a batch configuration. What is the size of the process tank and what will be the membrane...

    Membrane filtration for use in wine filtration

    Wine clarification can and is done via microfiltration membranes. Check this link: http://www.kochmembrane.com/mktapp_winef.html

    TMP or Flux as Control

    This really dependent upon the nature of the process. What specific process (MF, UF, NF, RO) and what is it that you would lile to process (water, wastewater, milk, juice, paint, caustic, acid, etc.)? Also, how are you intending to operate (feed & bleed, single pass, dead ended, batch...

    What is max temperature for RO membranes?

    That's pretty typical of TFC RO elements. You should be calling manufacturer's.

    Milk concentration

    SBush is correct UF can be used dependant upon the final product desired. RO is also used for milk concentration. See the attached web page. http://www.kochmembrane.com/mktapp_dairy.html

    Milk concentration

    Who have you contacted? It's most likely that they are in the systems business, that's why they won't talk.

    Hydrocarbon effect on Zenon membranes

    What's is the polymer you are using? that will tell you if HC's will effect them. While HC's may or may not contribute to degradation, free oil's will foul the membrane. This will effect productivity.

    commercial PVA membrane

    Koch is in the membrane business. They will sell you membranes without a system. That's a huge part of their business.

    How to Balance Flows between two Claricones

    How are you determining this maximum flow? Dependent upon the answer, it could be as simple as three lines of PLC logic. Based upon my exposure to CBI's claricone clarifier's build weir structures doesn't seem to be the answer. This would have to be accomplished through PI control using the...

    What is well kill operation?

    MortenA is generally correct. Barite is used to increase solution densities as required. In addition the solvent used may not be water only. I believe you reach a limit of about 16-17 pounds per gallon with water based muds. I have seen oil based muds that run upwards of 20 pounds per...

    Ultrafiltration

    Hollow fiber membranes are not the best chose when solids are involved. You run the risk of the solids becoming built up on the upstream side of the tube sheet as well as the probability of plugging the fibers. Again, this type of application is typically handled via tubular membranes. If you...

    Ultrafiltration

    What type and configuration of membrane are you planning to use? There are large channel tubular membranes that this would not be a problem with. The only possible issue with the tubular membrane is surface area of membrane relative to floor area of the system. Take a look at...
