这项研究记录了一个小型系统（北迦太基2300个客户）的转型 （卡罗来纳州）从常规处理（明矾凝固沉淀过滤）到 微滤（MF）。新的MF设施于4月1日开始向配水系统供水 2002年5月24日。在新方案中，MF之前不添加任何化学品。月度数据 收集和工厂日常运行记录用于记录处理效率和效率 改造前和改造后五个月内配水系统的水质 转变这项研究的最终目标是确定这种方法的实际好处 在客户点击时转换为MF。到目前为止，结果表明MF有所改善 浊度和颗粒去除，这反映在分布范围内的测量中 系统然而，与MF效率无关的问题仍有待解决，以便 可以控制消毒副产物的形成和细菌的再生。经验教训 在这里，关于处理效率，成本和水质改善将是非常重要的 有利于许多面临类似问题的小型系统。包括2个参考文献、表格和图表。

This research documents the transition of a small system (2300 customers in Carthage, North Carolina) from conventional treatment (alum coagulation-sedimentation-filtration) to microfiltration (MF). The new MF facility began delivering water to the distribution system on May 24, 2002. In the new scheme, no chemicals are added ahead of MF. Monthly data collection and daily plant operating records were used to document the treatment efficiency and water quality in the distribution system for five months prior to the conversion and after the conversion. The ultimate goal of the research was to determine the tangible benefits of the conversion to MF at the customer's tap. Thus far, the results have shown that MF has improved turbidity and particle removal and this is reflected in measurements made within the distribution system. However, problems unrelated to the efficiency of MF remain to be solved so that disinfection byproduct formation and bacterial regrowth can be controlled. Lessons learned here with regard to efficiency of treatment, costs and water quality improvements will be of great benefit to many small systems that are facing similar problems.
