How many UF and NF stages/trains will you have? If you have multiples, it is also possible to compensate for a stage/train being down by ramping the producing units to maintain a constant UF flow. Of course you will need to be a bit conservative on the UF design flux. With this said, it is...

Your best bet is to contact one of the membrane suppliers as many of the operational issues are dependent upon the type and configuartion of the membrane. In my opinion, the best product on the market currently is the PURON product of Koch Membrane Systems, Inc. www.kochmembrane.com. Regards...

Who's membranes are you using? What specific membrane?

If this is a pilot system I would do both. Are you planning on performing pressure and flow excursion exercises as well? What UF tube are you planning on using? Sounds like you plan on running in a batch configuration. What is the size of the process tank and what will be the membrane...

Wine clarification can and is done via microfiltration membranes. Check this link: http://www.kochmembrane.com/mktapp_winef.html

This really dependent upon the nature of the process. What specific process (MF, UF, NF, RO) and what is it that you would lile to process (water, wastewater, milk, juice, paint, caustic, acid, etc.)? Also, how are you intending to operate (feed & bleed, single pass, dead ended, batch...

That's pretty typical of TFC RO elements. You should be calling manufacturer's.

SBush is correct UF can be used dependant upon the final product desired. RO is also used for milk concentration. See the attached web page. http://www.kochmembrane.com/mktapp_dairy.html

Who have you contacted? It's most likely that they are in the systems business, that's why they won't talk.

What's is the polymer you are using? that will tell you if HC's will effect them. While HC's may or may not contribute to degradation, free oil's will foul the membrane. This will effect productivity.

Why do you need to know?

Koch is in the membrane business. They will sell you membranes without a system. That's a huge part of their business.

Thise work fine.

I would advise you to contact the membrane manufacturer. They have all the expertise in this area as they have been doing it for years.
