ABSTRACT

The performance of MCASP plants in municipal wastewater treat­ ment can be defined as secure and reliable. The examined plate and hollow fiber modules are indifferent to the loads in municipal waste­ water treatment. By sufficiently calculating the membrane filtration, it can be assumed that a stable hydraulic performance of the membranes can be guaranteed. A chemical cleaning of the membranes is to be car­ ried out at intervals of 6 months for the hollow fiber membranes and 12 months for the plate membranes. Adaptation of the membranes to variable influent volume flows as these occur, while processing mu­ nicipal wastewater of combined sewer systems, is possible without problems.
