In 2002, the City of Pompano Beach installed a new 10 mgd nanofiltration membrane treatment plant. Based on raw water quality, replacement membranes were selected to optimize iron rejection while maintaining sufficient hardness to provide a stable finished water.  Full-scale manufacturer proof testing was required to demonstrate satisfactory performance.  

The largest nanofiltration facility in operation in the world. It has the unique ability to operate without acid or antiscalant pretreatment. Design incorporates “convertible” skids which can reduce the concentrate flow by 50%. New generation of low-fouling membranes specifically developed for this project.
