1.2 Key Parameters of Design and Operation, Maintenance
1) Inlet limitation to Membrane Separation Tank
Screen
Bar or drum screen less than 1 mm
Large debris has membrane damage potential
Oil & Grease
Not exceed 150mg/L as normal hexane extracts
Significant flux decline may be observed in case of higher inlet Oil & Grease (Pay
attention mechanical oil).
Antifoaming Agent
Use alcohol base antifoaming agent
Do not use silicon antifoaming agent
Significant flux decline may be observed using silicon antifoaming agent

2) Recommended MLSS Range of Membrane Separation Tank

3) Filtration and Relaxation Mode

Relaxation time, in which membrane surface cleaning is conducted, must be provided
between suction intervals for stable treatment using the MBR system. Nonduct
intermittent filtration at at the following interval.

Filtration time: 7 minutes or less

Relaxation time: 1 minutes or longer

4/16
 4) CIP Mode
There are three types of chemical cleaning using NaNlO and/or acid.

Type of Cleaning Injection Injection and

Concentration
CIP Frequency Amount Immersion time

Maintenance Every week 500 mg/L 2 Only injection

2 L/m
Cleaning (M.C.) (Flux > 16.7 LMH) of NaCIO 30 min.
Recovery Every 3 months and/or 3,000 mg/L 2 Injection 30 min.
2 L/m
Cleaning (R.C.) +15 kPa-TMP of NaCIO Immersion 90 min.
Acid Cleaning 1 wt% 2 Injection 30 min.
Every 1 year 2 L/m
(acid) of Citric acid Immersion 90 min.

5) Diffuser Cleaning Mode

The diffusers embedded in the module are constructed so that the holes in the diffuser
are open into the pipe. When the diffusers are used for long periods of time, they must
be cleaned regularly as dried sludge will block the holes.

The diffuser cleaning process is composed of two processes. The first is a process where
air supply from the permeate pump and blower to the diffuser is stopped, and the MV
automatic valve in the branch line installed in the pipe is opened, which allows water in
the tank to flow into the diffuser. The second is a process where the MV automatic valve
is closed, the air supply is restored and the tank water in the diffuser is discharged. Clean
diffusers once every 1 to 6 hours with the inflow time kept to around 1 minute.

Note:
* COD removal rate may be changed depending on COD composition.
** If T-N removal rate is more than 80%, other T-N removal process may need to be designed OEM.
*** If O&G are exceeded(animal and vegetable oil : 150mg/L, mineral oil : not allowed),
pre-treatment prior to MBR should be done by OEM.
**** If aeration tank temperature exceed 40 deg. C, biological processing performance declines.
