MBC was responsible for design of pre- and post-treatement chemical systems, as well as startup assistance for a 26 mgd nanofiltration process in parallel with a 3.5 mgd low pressure reverse osmosis membrane process.  

In 2004, the City completed construction and commissioning of the 40 mgd  NF membrane process addition to the City’s 70 mgd WTP. The original membrane elements for the plant were specially developed for the 2004 project by the membrane the membrane manufacturer, Hydranautics, which subsequently became the ESNA LF (low fouling) product line, the industry … Read more

This project included replacement of all membrane pressure vessels, modifications to membrane unit piping to improve efficiency and reliability, and modifications to the membrane cleaning system.    

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. Winner of the 2006 Florida Institute of Consulting Engineers (FICE) Grand Award for … Read more
