Design and Analysis of Ultra-filtration with Reverse Osmosis for Wastewater Treatment
Abstract
The key problems in the water sector include quality of the water and shortage. The use of membrane technology for recovered water recycling and reuse, like ultra-filtering, is becoming a more appealing alternative. Both design and feasibility assessment of a project proposal for wastewater recycling and reuse are conducted in this research. The major goal of this work was to use Ultra filtration membrane technology to simulate intermediate treated wastewater from a sewerage treatment plant. The planned UF tertiary treatment facility would generate commercial grade water with a capacity of 20 MLD. For optimising UF plants, a develop and implement plan cantered on a simulation methodology was established under this work. DuPont WAVE design software version 1.72 is used to create a comprehensive design for the planned facility. A statistical study is performed, and a quantitative model was created to provide details on processing parameters and the best option for producing the needed grade tertiary treated water. The product water (tertiary treated water) produced through Ultra filtration has feed input as 100 m3/hr.The current proposal is a technologically and financially realistic alternative Municipal Corporation to manufacture commercial grade water, and this will satisfy the needed tertiary quality requirements of the state industrial development corporation, according to the specific design. The recovery rate is about 71.5% with 29% reject water.
