Water and Wastewater Disinfection
Course Pack: Advanced Disinfection Technologies: Chloramination, Ozone, and UV
A Discussion of Membrane and Ultrafiltration
Course Description
This module provides Membrane and Ultrafiltration Training focused on the fundamentals of membrane filtration and ultrafiltration processes used in water and wastewater treatment. Learners explore pressure-versus-pore-size relationships, pre-treatment chemistry considerations, and operational practices that support efficient membrane performance. The course also covers UV cleaning procedures, lamp and sensor inspections, mixed-oxidant applications, and their roles in treatment effectiveness. Through this Membrane and Ultrafiltration Training, operators gain practical knowledge of filtration principles, system optimization, and strategies for maintaining reliable treatment performance.
Learning Objectives
1) Explain membrane/UF principles
2) Identify mixed oxidant disinfection roles
3) Apply UV cleaning & sensor checks
4) Compare pore size vs pressure systems
5) Recognize permanganate/peroxide uses
Agenda
1) UV system cleaning practices and sensor function for maintaining dose reliability
2) Overview of mixed‑oxidant disinfection methods and operational applications
3) Fundamental principles of membrane filtration, including pressure–pore‑size relationships
4) Use of permanganate and peroxide for pre‑treatment or oxidation support
5) Applied operational scenarios demonstrating treatment performance and decision‑making
Target audience
Operators responsible for membrane process control, filtration system oversight, and integration of UV and oxidant technologies in treatment operations.
