About This Item
Full Description
Optimization programs that are designed to evaluate operation under typical flow conditions can
provide significant value to a utility. In September 2005, the Racine Water Utility (RWU)
successfully commissioned a new 50-mgd submerged ultrafiltration (UF) water treatment plant (WTP), one of
the largest submerged membrane facilities in North America. Following successful start-up,
RWU began a program with a goal of optimizing the day-to-day operation of the facilities. The
goals of the RWU optimization program included lowering the operational costs, reducing the
stress on the membrane fibers, and increasing the treatment capacity and redundancy. This
program has successfully lowered operating costs, while increasing capacity and redundancy for
the system. This paper summarizes the results of the efforts made by the Racine, Wisconsin
Water Utility (RWU) to optimize the operation of their full-scale UF installation. Includes tables, figures.
