该项目的总体目标是确定和检查与此相关的关键问题 在现有的大型水介质过滤器中使用颗粒膜过滤器。 该项目的具体目标是: 为改造堪萨斯城供水系统开发全尺寸膜系统设计 部门（KCWSD）水处理厂，膜选择用于特定用途 使其非常适合应用的特性； 开发概念布局，详细说明重力馈电和泵送膜改造 KCWSD的场景基于试点测试期间制定的设计参数（本 演习包括对整合问题的分析，如现有基础设施的使用， 辅助设备要求、膜完整性测试协议和操作员 培训要求）；和 制定用膜介质改造现有颗粒介质过滤器的成本估算 KCWSD水处理厂的过滤器。本文讨论了所用方法的某些组成部分，包括测试场地、测试膜和测试协议。

The overall objective of this project was to identify and examine the key issues related to retrofitting existing granular media filters with membrane media filters in large water utilities. Specific objectives of the project were to: develop full-scale membrane system design for retrofitting the Kansas City Water Services Department (KCWSD) water treatment plant with membranes selected for specific characteristics that make them well suited for the application; develop conceptual layouts detailing both gravity-fed and pumped membrane retrofit scenarios at KCWSD based on the design parameters developed during pilot testing, (this exercise included an analysis of integration issues such as the use of existing infrastructure, ancillary equipment requirements, membrane integrity testing protocols, and operator training requirements); and, develop cost estimates for retrofitting existing granular media filters with membrane media filters at the KCWSD water treatment plant. The paper discusses certain components of the approach used that include testing site, membranes tested, and testing protocol.
