纽约新罗谢尔水务公司得出结论，应审查日益严格的法规（包括地表水处理规则和消毒副产品规则）、膜过滤技术。因此，决定建造一座膜（超滤）处理示范工厂。该设施的主要目标是获得短期和更重要的长期性能数据，以便更好地评估未来应用该特定技术的可行性。选择的系统是一个完全自动化的撬装装置，由制造商设计和制造。 本文讨论了设计参数（水力、机械、电气/自动化、选址/系统需求）、水质、客户关系、许可和施工。新罗谢尔水务公司认为，随着法规变得更加严格，设计和运营效益变得更加众所周知，成本降低，膜技术将在未来成为一种更普遍、更可行的技术。此外，该工厂的运行将允许对超滤进行全面评估，作为同时遵守SWTR和DBPR的一种手段。

New Rochelle Water Company (New York) concluded that increasingly stringent regulations (including the Surface Water Treatment Rule and Disinfection Byproducts Rule), membrane filtration technology should be examined. Hence, the decision was made to construct a membrane (ultrafiltration) treatment demonstration plant. The main objective of the facility is to obtain both short term and more importantly long term performance data in order to better evaluate the feasibility of applying this particular technology in the future. The system chosen is a completely automated, skid-mounted unit, designed and fabricated by the manufacturer. This paper discusses design parameters (hydraulics, mechanical, electrical/automation, site selection/system demands), water quality, customer relations, permitting, and construction. New Rochelle Water Company believes that membrane technology will become a more common and viable technology in the future as regulations become even more stringent, as design and operational benefits become more well known, and as costs decrease. Also, the operation of this plant will allow for a comprehensive assessment of ultrafiltration as a means to comply with the SWTR and DBPR simultaneously.
