Abstract
This paper presents an integrated membrane system (IMS) designed, installed by KINTECH Technology Co. Ltd. and its long term performance at Kaotan Water Treatment Plant (KTWTP). The IMS installed at KTWTP is the first membrane system as well as the first IMS for tap water production in Taiwan. The raw waters from Kaoping River, local subsurface flow and groundwater were pumped into KTWTP for the tap water supply of Kaohsiung area. Turbidity of water in the Kaoping River during the typhoon usually increases abruptly up to 5,000–10,000 NTU, greatly surpassing the upper limit of 1,500 NTU for conventional purification to be effective. In addition, field data also showed that the levels of ammonia-nitrogen, total hardness, total dissolved solid and certain inorganic constituents in local groundwater are too high to be effectively removed by conventional system. The KTWTP was established by Taiwan Water Corporation (TWC) in 1972 and initially operated on conventional process. To meet increasingly stringent dri...
