Process Descriptio sing T ray PRESSURIZED UF Modules
Feed water is pumped to the membrane modules at a maximum feed pressure of 43.5 psi.
Particulate matter, including Virus, Giardia cysts and Cryptosporidium oocysts, remain on the
outside of the membrane fiber while permeate enters through to the inside of the hollow
fibers and exits the top port of the membrane module. The filtration cycle continues for
approximately 30 minutes, depending on recovery and flux, and then the particulate /
suspended solids are removed from the module during the backwash cycle. In the
backwash cycle, feed to the module stops and filtrate from the backwash tank is directed
into the hollow fibers for approximately 30 - 60 seconds. The top-side port is open allowing
the excess water to overflow to drain. Next air bubbles scour the membranes for 30 - 60
seconds and then the module is drained. The overall backwash cycle requires approximately
3.25 minutes.
Chemicals may be added to the backwash water if required. The default chemical is
normally sodium hypochlorite used when high levels of organic fouling are encountered.
Additionally, Toray Maintenance Cleans (TMC) may be performed from once a week to
twice a day depending on the application. TMCs are initiated after the backwash cycle and
involve soaking the membranes in a concentrated chemical solution for approximately 20
minutes. During the soak period air bubbles scour the membrane every 5 minutes for
approximately 30 seconds. The cleaning solution can be neutralized in a neutralizing basin
by dosing a neutralizing chemical i.e. sodium bisulfite or sodium hydroxide into the basin
before sending the used cleaning solution to drain. The overall TMC cycle requires
approximately 30 minutes.
CIP Cleaning is performed when the TransMembrane Pressure (TMP) approaches the
maximum of 29 psi. CIP cleaning is similar to a TMC except the soak period is longer and the
chlorine concentration is higher. Typical duration for a CIP cleaning is 2-4 hours.
For drinking water systems, Membrane Integrity Tests (MITs) can be done by pressurizing the
module with compressed air on the feed side of the fiber at a minimum pressure of 100 kPa
(14.5 psi) up to a maximum pressure of 124 kPa (18 psi). Once the water has been purged
from the system the pressure in the module is monitored and recorded to evaluate the
membrane integrity. At the end of the test the air is purged and the system returns to normal
operation. The test lasts approximately 7 to 12 minutes.
The design of the feed supply to the membrane system should take into account the
intermittent operation of the OF system. Since the feed flow stops to the membrane trains
that are either in backwash, TMC, CIP or MIT cycle the feed design needs to include one of
the following:
1 . Feed tanks to equalize flow
31-Jul-14 Proposal No. 100266 rev. 5 Page 5 of 17
AFTORAYO
Innovation by Chemistry
2. Variable Frequency Drives (VFD's) on feed pumps to control flow during Filtration,
Backwash, TMC, CIP or MIT operation cycles
3. Additional module capacity to treat the feedwater while one train is off line

Innovation by Chemistry
Advantages of using membranes in a direct filtration process are:
• High removal of virus, parasites, bacteria and turbidity
• higher suspended solids concentrations possible
• extremely limited chance of breakthrough
• high recovery rates
• low energy and chemical consumption
® treat high amounts of TSS (>50mg/1) in feed water possible (tertiary application)
• reuse of treated water (tertiary application)
As a supplier of the solids-liquid separation technology, TORAY provides the PRESSURIZED OF
membrane modules, which are a critical component of the system. However, depending on
the characteristics of the application, the system may require a range of pre and post
treatment unit operations to be provided by the system integrator (OEM) such as chemical
injection systems, flash mixing, flocculation tanks, and disinfection systems. These treatment
systems are in addition to the standard equipment for an Ultrafiltration system, which could
include pre-screening, feed equalization, feed pumps, blowers for air scouring, chemical and
backwash pumps and a control system and data acquisition system.
While TORAY can provide guidance on the development of the overall OF process and
recommendations on key parameters, TORAY does not accept responsibility for the overall
process. The system design is the responsibility of the system integrator (OEM) and is
expected to be designed to good engineering principles, by design engineers with
appropriate expertise & experience in such technology.

4 Toray TIPS Fiber and Membrane Module
4.1 PRESSURIZED Hollow Fiber Membrane
The hollow fiber membrane is made of PVDF (Poly-
vinylidene Fluoride).The Cross section of the structure
is shown in Figure 1. The Flow direction is from
outside to inside.
Toray Membrane Industries has two different types of
pressurized hollow fiber products: Flow Direction
(Outside-in)
HFU: Pore Size = 0.01 micron Cross Section
HFS: Pore Size = 0.02 micron
Figure 1-Hollow Fiber
The membrane is manufactured by a special spinning "Modified TIPS" method developed by
TORAY. As a result of this method the membrane can operate at a very high filtration flux
with fewer fiber breakages compared to other PVDF hollow fiber membranes.

The PRESSURIZED module housing is PVC. Maximum
recommended operating trans-membrane pressure is
2 bar (29 PSI). The flow direction is from outside-to-
inside.
This operation mode is especially suitable for high
turbidity water treatment because the air-scrubbing
can be adopted to remove suspended solid
effectively and eliminates the risk of fiber plugging
that could be encountered in inside-out systems.

HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of an Agreement with Alan Plummer Associates, Inc., in the Amount of
$211,145.00 for the Eagle Mountain Water Treatment Plant Membrane Pilot Study
(COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution an Agreement with Alan Plummer
Associates, Inc., in the amount of$211,145.00 for the Eagle Mountain Water Treatment Plant
Membrane Pilot Study.
DISCUSSION:
On February 5, 2013, (M&C C-26089) the City Council authorized an Agreement for the update of the
Northside Pressure Plane Water System Master Plan. This plan recommends that the Eagle
Mountain Water Treatment Plant be expanded by 2019.
In 2012, the Water Department began operation of the Westside Water Treatment Plant which utilizes
membrane filtration in the treatment process. Prior to design and construction of the Westside Water
Treatment Plant, a membrane pilot study was performed in 2006 on Richland Chambers, Cedar
Creek, and Benbrook surface waters, as required by the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality(TCEQ), to evaluate membrane performance with regard to water treatment, fouling potential,
cleaning effectiveness and membrane fiber integrity.
With an Eagle Mountain Water Plant expansion date of 2019, it is recommended to proceed with a
study that evaluates membrane treatment of Eagle Mountain Lake surface water. As part of this
study, Alan Plummer Associates, Inc., will prepare the initial membrane pilot study protocol to submit
to TCEQ, provide oversight of the process to rent membrane pilot units, oversee the membrane pilot
testing, and prepare a final report to be submitted to TCEQ. Upon completion of the membrane pilot
study, the TCEQ will review the pilot study report and approve a maximum permissible flow rate for
each membrane tested. The results of the pilot study will be utilized in preparation of membrane
procurement documents to support a future expansion of the Eagle Mountain Water Treatment Plant.
