all local ambient condition the designed temperature is mentioned as 25 0C. We have considered
the 35 0C as ambient temperature.
Also note that the maximum allowable temperature for the UF
membranes is 40oC.
2 Table 1.2 Minimum Alkalinity 3 Basis of 183 mg/l As per tender document 6776-056-17-41-DB-01 (page 8 of 16), the
alkalinity is given as 183 mg / lit. This alkalinity will be consumed in
the SBR, hence the alkalinity to the MBR will be Nil and alkalinity
required for MBR will be added externally in the form of NaOH.

11 Table 1.9 Process Calculations 8 Furnish basis on MLSS on Typical MLSS concentration design on an MBR is 8,000 mg/L on the
recirculation rate bioreactor with a concentration of 10,000 mg/L on the Membranes.
To achieve this, a mixed liquor recirculation of 4 is required.
These target concentrations are based on GE experience to balance
MBR size, membrane performance and oxygen transfer efficiency.
