Abstract
The effect of hydrodynamics of flux decline of cellulose acetate hyperfiltration (reverse osmosis) membranes was studied using primary effluent from the Oak Ridge East Sewage Plant as feed. The system contained multiple, annular-geometry housings which could be operated simultaneously at different velocities with the same feed. The range of fluxes studied was from 2 to 150 gal./sq ft a day and axial velocities ranged from 3 to 30 ft/sec. System pressure was 600 psig. The results demonstrate that there is a threshold velocity above which flux decline is markedly smaller than at lower velocities. In scouting studies, addition of a flocculant appeared to markedly reduce the threshold velocity. For the initial 200-300 hours of those tests with primary sewage effluent as feed and in which the axial velocity was above the threshold velocity, the flux decline parameter was determined.
