DuPont Ultrafiltration Modules - General Design Guidelines[5]

The purpose of this document is to serve as General Design Guidelines for the design and operation of DuPont Ultrafiltration products. Project-
specific conditions of water quality, system design, operation and project drivers (CAPEX vs. OPEX vs. Total Water Cost) should be discussed and
reviewed with a DuPont Water Solutions Technical Service Representative.

Recipes: Notes:
[1]
Recipe A: Once per week, 250 mg/L NaOCl 95% of the time.

Recipe B: Once every two weeks, to pH 2 (400 Gross Flux considered as instantaneous flux with standby skids offline and/or in backwash. Based on Normalized Flux at 25ºC.
mg/L HCl or 550 mg/L H 2SO 4) [3] 3
Air Scour is recommended during the regular backwash and CEB cycles at a flow rate between 10 to 15 Nm /hour/module, at a pressure of 0.35 to 2.5 barg (typical 1 barg) at the UF
Recipe C: Every 24 hours, 350 mg/L NaOCl module inlet.
Recipe D [4]: Once per week, to pH2, (550 mg/L [4]
Estimated dosage at 100% strength solution to achieve target pH. Actual required dosage will vary due to project-specidifc water chemistry, e.g. alkalinity, ionic strength and
HCl or 750 mg/L H 2SO 4) temperature.
Recipe E [4]: Every 12 hours, to pH 12 (650 mg/L [5]
These guidelines are based on the quality parameters indicated as design basis in the DuPont Ultrafiltration Product Manual, which includes reference values for Turbidity, TSS, TOC,
NaOH) particle size, Oil/Grease, COD, pH, temperature or Cl2. If the design basis is exceded or Iron, Manganese or Silica are present in the feed water, consult with your local DWS representative.
Recipe F: Every 12 hours, at 750 mg/L NaOCl [6]
In order to extend the time between full CIP’s, an approach based on short CIP’s can be done instead of the standard CEB. A heated chemical solution (typically NaOCl up to 2,000 ppm)
Recipe G [4]: Every 36 hours, to pH 2 (400 mg/L
is recirculated 1-3 times per week through the feed side of the membranes and then drained,and the system is rinsed. Total duration of the short CIP is around 30 minutes. Please consult
