In the first step of the project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) three UF pilot systems (about 10 m3/h) were evaluated for drinking water treatment of reservoir water. In the second step a 150 m3/h pilot plant with 12 6 m long pressure vessels was installed in the waterworks of Roetgen. One of the unique features of the pilot is, that the inlet and outlet flows of every pressure vessel are monitored. Further on a particle counter is installed. With this particle counter the filtrate of every pressure vessel can be monitored automatically by switching magnetic valves.

Treatment Step

Most surface water treatment plants use floc-filtration as the most important treatment step in drinking water production. This paper presents a new technological development which allows floc-filtration to be carried out in pressure filters. Experiments in pilot and full scale show its high efficiency. The technological development allows us to treat algal-rich and high turbid matter containing raw water efficiently at high filtration rates. Floc formation can be realised by means of a special reaction tank in front of the filter inlet. Efficient removal of particles and turbidity is achieved if filtration with filter inlet flow controller is used.

Filter Backwash Water

Membrane filtration allows safe retention of microorganisms when treating filter backwash water from conventional drinking water filters. The permeate of the membrane plant can thus be reused to produce drinking water. The benefits are a higher yield of the drinking water treatment plant and a minimised wastewater production. This paper discusses the results of a pilot study, cost data and full-scale operation experiences concerning the application of ultrafiltration to treat filter backwash water. The effectiveness of ultrafiltration was assessed with regard to flux, cost and permeate quality.

Recent commissioned Vitens NF and RO treatment plants are provided with the Optiflux® stack configuration. Aim of the Optiflux® concept is to optimize the permeate flow in RO/NF plants by minimizing hydraulic pressure losses and the osmotic pressure difference across the membrane surface. An increase in permeate productivity of 20% can be achieved, for both NF and RO membrane filtration systems, by lowering the number of membrane modules per pressure vessel to three, which leads to lower hydraulic pressure losses. In one pressure vessel of 6 elements with 3 elements in each side and a center port in the middle; the feed water flows in the two directions (each side of the pressure vessel) and passes through the 3 elements of each side and the retentate is collected in the center port and feeds the second stage with the same principal. The permeate flows via the center tube of the spiral wound membranes and is collected in the permeate tank. The first full scale plant of 320 m3/h based on this concept is already commissioned at the 20th November 2006 at Vitens drinking water treatment plant Dinxperlo in The Netherlands.

Biological Nitrification

The implementation and evaluation of biological nitrification as a possible treatment option for the small-scale drinking water supply of a rural Upper Austrian community was investigated. The drinking water supply of this community (average system input volume: 20 m3/d) is based on the use of deep anaerobic groundwater with a high ammonium content of geogenic origin (up to 5 mg/l) which must be treated to prevent the formation of nitrites in the drinking water supply system. This paper describes the implementation and operation of biological nitrification despite several constraints including space availability, location and financial and manpower resources. A pilot drinking water treatment plant, including biological nitrification implemented in sand filters, was designed and constructed for a maximum treatment capacity of 1.2 m3/h. Online monitoring of selected physicochemical parameters has provided continuous treatment performance data. Treatment performance of the plant was evaluated under standard operation as well as in the case of selected malfunction events.
