 SIZING CALCULATION OF
ULTRAFILTRATION SYSTEM

DESIGN BASIC DATA

DESIGN BASIS:
Working Hours = 16 Hrs

Feed to UF  110 m3/hr.X 2

UF Recovery  85.4 %
UF Cross Flow  9%
UF Reject Flow  9.9 m3/hr.X 2
Net Permeate Production  93.95 m3/hr. X 2

RAW WATER ANALYSIS

Sr. No. Parameter Water Quality Unit

1. Temperature 25 Deg. C
2. pH 6.5-7.5 --
3. TSS <10 Mg/Lit
4. Turbidity <5 NTU

PRODUCT WATER ANALYSIS

Sr. No. Parameter Water Quality Unit

1. Temperature 25 Deg. C
2. pH 6.5-7.5
3. TSS <1
4. Turbidity <1
1. UF FEED PUMP

Quantity = 2 (1 W + 1 SB) /Skid

Total Feed flow = 110 m3/hr.

Total Head = 2.0 bar

Referring the projections & subsequent recovery the required net & feed flow
per skid 1.5 MLD 1.76 MLD respectively, with in 16 Hrs. Hence the selected
capacity of feed pump is OK.

2. UF BACKWASH PUMP

Quantity = 2 (1 W + 1 SB) /Skid

Total Feed flow = 151.2 m3/hr.

Total Head = 1.8 bar

Referring the projections & subsequent recovery the required backwash flow
per membrane is 3.78M3/hr/Membrane .Total Membrane quantity = 40 Nos.
Hence the selected capacity of backwash pump = 151.2M3/hr, which is OK.

3. CARTRIDGE FILTER

Quantity = 1 (1 Duty)

Total feed flow = 110 m3/hr.

Design capacity = 110 m3/hr.

Hence selected 50 micron bag filter with 110 m3/hr. is adequate.

 4. UF SYSTEM

UF feed flow = 110 m3/hr./Skid

UF recovery = 85.4 %

UF permeate = 93.95 m3/hr./skid

UF reject = 9.9 m3/hr./Skid

Total Modules = 40 Nos.

Please refer the UF projections for above mentioned values.

5. AIR SCOURING BLOWER

Quantity = 1 (1 Duty)

Required flow / Membrane = 7 m3/hr.

Designed Flow for Skid = 280 m3/hr.

Hence selected 280 M3/hr. Air Blower capacities.

6. UF CIP PUMP

Quantity = 2 (1 duty + 1 Standby)

Total CIP flow required for = 2 X No. of Modules

CIP Pump Flow = 80 m3/hr.

Total Head = 2.0 bar

Hence Selected Pump is OK.

UF feed Pump MOC is considered as SS 316 Casing & Impeller, hence the
same pump will be used for CIP
7. CIP TANK

Quantity = 1 (1 duty)

Design purpose = to store the water CIP Solution

Required quantity for CIP = 4000 Lit

Selected quantity = 5.0 m3/

Hence selected tank capacity of 5 m3 is OK
