地表水处理规则（SWTR）要求通过过滤和化学消毒相结合的处理过程，降低浊度，去除或灭活蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫囊肿、大肠菌群和病毒。Memcor CMF微滤系统始终如一、可靠地生产出超过过滤要求的成品水，尽管给水条件发生了重大变化。由于在不调节进料的情况下获得滤液质量，因此需要最少的操作员参与。除了达到过滤要求外，微滤系统还能够通过大肠菌群的机械滞留实现水的初级消毒。微滤可以提供一种独特的“多重屏障”方法来改善水质的微生物方面。 化学消毒只是为了满足配电系统的残留要求，并实现病毒灭活。与其他微孔膜过滤器一样，系统性能可以通过压力或“膜测试”进行常规监测，以确保系统的完整性。通过使用创新的反洗和操作制度，结合高效的模块化设计，现在可以使用微滤系统进行大规模的水生产。这些系统可以与传统技术相比具有成本竞争力，同时提供微孔膜过滤固有的质量优势。

The Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR) requires the reduction of turbidity and removal or inactivation of Giardia lamblia cysts, coliform bacteria and viruses by a treatment process consisting of a combination of filtration and chemical disinfection. The Memcor CMF microfiltration system consistently and reliably produces a finished water which exceeds the filtration requirements despite significant changes in feed water conditions. Minimal operator involvement is required as filtrate quality is obtained without conditioning of the feed. In addition to achieving the filtration requirements, microfiltration systems are able to achieve primary disinfection of the water through mechanical retention of coliform bacteria. Microfiltration can provide a unique "multiple barrier" approach to improve microbiological aspects of water quality. Chemical disinfection is only necessary to meet the residual requirements of the distribution system and to achieve virus inactivation. As with other microporous membrane filters, system performance can be routinely monitored by a pressure or "Membrane Test" to assure system integrity. Large scale water production, using microfiltration systems, is now possible with the use of innovative backwash and operating regimes in combination with efficient modular designs. These systems can be cost competitive with conventional technologies while offering the intrinsic qualitative advantages of microporous membrane filtration.
