27、 in the treatment and production of public drinking water. 1.2 Scope This Standard is designed to describe the performance evaluation test procedure for the product specific challenge testing of full scale UF and MF membrane modules, bag filters, and cartridge filters for the removal of microbial co

28、ntaminants. This Standard provides procedures to develop challenge testing Log Removal Values (LRVC_TEST), as required in the EPAs Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) published in 40 CFR 141-subpart W. Evaluation of cleaning, maintenance and operation of the filtration equip

29、ment are not covered under the scope of this Standard. 1.3 Alternate materials, designs, and construction While specific materials, designs, and construction are stipulated in this Standard, it is possible that systems that incorporate alternate materials, designs, and construction are acceptable wh

30、en it is verified that such systems meet the applicable requirements stated herein. 1.4 Minimum requirements for testing facility and equipment Testing should be performed at a test facility/laboratory such that the testing equipment at a minimum shall precisely and accurately control flow rate and

31、has a flow meter upstream and/or downstream of the filter unit or membrane module; and shall ensure that the water is well mixed before sampling (e.g., static mixers or appropriate number of pipe lengths with good mixing confirmed). 1.5 Standard review This Standard shall be reviewed at least once e

32、very five years. The review shall be conducted by the NSF Joint Committee on Public Drinking Water Equipment Performance. 2015 NSF NSF/ANSI 419 2015 2 1.6 Significant figures For determining conformance with specifications in this Standard, the Absolute Method in ASTM E29 Standard Practice for Using
