Filtration Mode Filtration flux

Filtration flux depends on:
Water origin (ground water, sea water, surface
water, residual water)
Water analysis (Turbidity, TSS, organic matter,
iron, manganese, aluminum, pH, alcalinity)
Pre-treatment (use of chemicals, agressive or
scaling water)
Temperature (flux is corrected below 12C)
Air Scour Mode

Air scouring, instead of backwashing, is the primary means of
physically cleaning the membrane

28
Integrity Test
Similar to HYDRAcap, the integrity test mode
consists of the following steps:
1.Pressurize inside of fiber with air to ~15 psi
2.Monitor pressure decay rate
3.Look for bubbles in concentrate line (top vertical
port)
