Abstract

In November 2005 one of the largest combined coagulation ultrafi ltration plants worldwide and the largest in Germany went into operation. Its maximum capacity is about 7,000 m./h of drinking water. Furthermore, a secondary UF stage with a capacity of about 630 m./h has been used to treat the back-wash water of the first stage. The innovative plant design results from an intensive preliminary pilot period, in which several advanced concepts had been investigated. The paper refl ects the long term experience with operation and monitoring of the plant over a period of about three years. Up to now expectations regarding performance in terms of permeability, retention, and reliability have been exceeded. The predicted specifi c treatment costs of about 10 Ct/m. drinking water were achieved or even reduced.
