Microfiltration and Ultrafiltration Membranes for Drinking Water - Manual of Water Supply Practices, M53

This manual describes microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) technologies for water treatment. These treatment techniques have gained rapid acceptance as processes that provide a reliable and very high level of particle, turbidity, and microorganism removal. Topics covered include science and theory, applications, pilot testing, system design, operations and maintenance, capital and operating costs, and disposal of residuals. Manufacturer product information is also included.
