Creative thinking, ingenuity and a willingness to "take the road less traveled" allowed the City of Ogden to replace its aging water treatment plant with an innovative, cost-effective solution. They piloted membrane filtered equipment with the intent of recycling the waste streams at the head of the plant. This pilot showed that yes, indeed, the membrane equipment could treat all of the backwash processes.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Explore how membrane treatment was able to replace an existing 13.5 MGD conventional plant using very limited space.
  2. Analyze the successes and failures of the trial and error process of determining the best water treatment plant process for your specific situation.
  3. Investigate tools and options to evaluate the possibility of recycle (retreat) waste streams from membrane plants.
