Thus far, almost all of the installed MR MBR plant have been based on the SUR module. More recently, the company has introduced the SteraporeSADF element, which is based on vertically oriented PVDF fibres. These fibres have a pore size of 0.4 �m and are 2.8 mm o.d. and are potted and framed using the same materials as for the SUR element. The PVDF elements (Fig. 4.20(a)) are much larger than the PE ones, being 2000 mm high � 1250 mm wide and 30 mm thick, and provide a smaller area of 25 m 2 . The units contain 20 elements (and hence provide 500 m 2 total membrane area) and have dimensions 1553 mm wide � 1443 mm thick � 3124 mm high. They have an integrated coarse bubble aerator which contributes to the overall module dry weight of 700 kg (Fig. 4.20(b)). 4.3.3 Memcor (a) (b) Figure 4.20 The SteraporeSADF: (a) element and (b) unit Commercial technologies 181 Memcor, now part of the Siemens group, is a well-established membrane product supplier dating back to 1982. The membrane product originates from Australia, but at various times the company has been acquired by USFilter in 1997 and Vivendi (now Veolia) in 1999 before being acquired by Siemens in July 2004 for $1.4 billion. At the time of the last acquisition, USFilter had a turnover of $1.2 billion and 5800 employees worldwide. In the potable water sector, their PP and PVDF products account for �2.5 gigalitres/day (GLD) of total installed membrane treatment capacity, about 50% of installed capacity in the USA, and almost 800 MLD, close to 30% of the total installed membrane capacity, in the UK (2005 figures). The Memcor MemJet ® MBR system was introduced in 2002. It comprises vertically oriented modules fitted with PVDF 0.04 �m-pore HF membranes. The air bubbles
182 The MBR Book Permeate Two-phase mix Mixed liquor Figure 4.21 The MemJet ® module with integral jet aerator entrained in mixed liquor are introduced into the module using a patented twophase mixing system (Fig. 4.21). This creates high-shear conditions, thereby minimizing solids concentration polarisation at the membrane surface near the jet. Higher membrane packing densities are permitted as a result, along with SAD m values below 0.3 Nm 3 /h m 2 membrane. Mean fluxes between 20 and 50 LMH are claimed, implying specific aeration demand values below 15 m 3 air/m 3 permeate on average. The predicted TMP range is 0.05–0.5 bar, though the membranes can apparently tolerate pressures of up to 3 bar. Modules are provided in two sizes: 10 m 2 (the B10R) and 38 m 2 (the B30R). A rack of modules (Fig. 4.22) may contain up to 40 B10R or 16 B30R modules, which can then be arranged in rows within a cell. This modularisation follows the same format as that used in potable water Memcor systems. The recommended mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentration range for the bioreactor is 5–15 g/L at an associated solids retention time (SRT) of 5–50 days and loading rates of 0.3–1.5 kg biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)/(m 3 day), generating sludge at rates of 0.1–0.7 kg SS/kg BOD removed. The expected cleaning in place (CIP) interval under the operating conditions stipulated is �3 months. The typical operation protocol recommended by Memcor is 12 min filtration followed by 1 min relaxation. Memcor also produce a package plant for flows up to 0.5 MLD. As with the larger scale systems, the MemJet ® Xpress (Fig. 4.23) has separate biotreatment and membrane tanks to assist operation and maintenance of the membrane and, in particular, membrane CIP.
