For example, a 10-fold reduction inparticle concentration is an LRV of 1. The defini

20、tion of LRVwithin this practice is one of many definitions that are usedwithin the industry. The user of this practice should use care asnot to interchange this definition with other definitions thatpotentially exist. The U.S. EPA applies the LRV definition topathogens only.3.2.5 membrane system, nr

Themembrane can be any membrane with a pore size less thanabout 1 m.3.2.6 multiplexing, vthe sharing of a common set ofphysical, optical, and/or electrical components ac

22、ross multiplesystem sample points. Two approaches of multiplexing areconsidered in this practice: sensor multiplexing and liquidmultiplexing. Sensor multiplexing monitors a unique samplewith a dedicated sensor. Sensors are linked to a centralizedlocation, where data processing and the determinative

23、mea-surement is performed. Liquid multiplexing uses a commoninstrument to measure multiple process sample streams in asequential manor. Samples are fed to the common analyzer viaa system of a manifold, valves, and tubing.3.2.7 relative standard deviation (RSD), na generic con-tinuous monitoring para

As an example, the RSD may becalculated as the standard deviation divided by the average fora defined set of measurements that are acquired over a shortperiod of time. The result

25、is multiplied by 100 to express thevalue as a percentage and is then reported as % RSD. Thesample monitoring frequency is typically in the range of 0.1 to60 seconds. The RSD parameter is specific for laser-basedparticulate light-scatter techniques which includes particlecounters and laser turbidimet

26、ers. The RSD is can be treated asan independent monitoring parameter. Other methods for RSDcalculations may also be used.3.2.8 UCL, na generic term to represent the aggregatequantity of material that causes an incident light beam to bescattered.

Significance and Use4.1 The integrity test methods described are used to deter-mine the integrity of membrane systems, and are applicable tosystems containing membrane module configurations of bothhollow fiber and flat sheet; such as, spiral-wound c

28、onfiguration.In all cases the practices apply to membranes in the RO, NF,and UF membrane classes. However, the TOC and Dye Testpractices do not apply to membranes in the MF range or theupper end of the UF pore size range (0.01 m and larger poresizes) due to insignificant or inconsistent removal of T

29、OCmaterial by these membranes.4.2 These methods may be used to identify relative changesin the integrity of a system, or used in conjunction with theequations described in 9.4, to provide a means of estimating theintegrity in terms of log reduction value. For criticalapplications, estimated log redu

30、ctions using these equationsshould be confirmed by experiment for the particular mem-brane and system configuration used.4.3 The ability of the methods to detect any given defect isaffected by the size of the system or portion of the systemtested. Selecting smaller portions of the system to test wil

31、lincrease the sensitivity of the test to defects. When determiningthe size that can be tested as a discrete unit, use the guidelinessupplied by the system manufacturer or the general guidelinesprovided in this practice.4.4 The applicability of the tests is largely independent ofsystem size when meas

32、ured in terms of the impact of defects onthe treated water quality (that is, the system LRV). This isbecause the bypass flow from any given defect is diluted inproportion to the systems total flowrate. For example, a10-module system with a single defect will produce the samewater quality as a 100-mo

33、dule system with ten of the same sizedefects.5. Reagents and Materials5.1 ReagentsAs specified for the TOC analyzer in ques-tion. Guide D5173 lists requirements for a variety of instru-ments.5.2 Soluble Dye SolutionUse FD that is, the conservative situation of cos = 1. In practicemost membranes used

34、 in water treatment have a contact anglegreater than zero, which is represented by the shaded regionunder the solid line in Fig. 3. If the contact angle is known orcan be determined, Eq 1 may be used. However, if the contactangle is not known, a conservative estimate of the test pressurerequired can

35、 be made by applying Eq 2.9.3.3 The test pressure is usually selected to ensure that theminimum defect diameter picked up by the test is smaller thancontaminates or particles of interest. For example, Eq 2indicates that a test pressure of 100 kPa would include alldefects larger than or equal to 3 m.

36、Alower pressure could beused for less hydrophilic membranes. For example, if thecontact angle is 60 degrees (typical for polypropylene,polysulfone, or PVdF) Eq 1 indicates that defects of 3 mwould be included at a test pressure of 50 kPa. An even lowertest pressure may be used for larger defects, su

At this pressure limit the testis not suitable for direct validation of

39、r under aknown set of test conditions (temperature and pressure). Thisinformation can be used to estimate the flow of liquid throughthe same defects during filtration conditions. This provides anestimate of the membrane bypass flow and thereby an estimateof the log removal of particles for the syste

40、m. One approach isbased on the Hagen-Poiseuille law, which assumes laminarflow through cylindrical defects. Whilst this method provides auseful estimate, its applicability is limited to small fibers ( 300 to 400 m lumen diameter) which can leadto error in the calculated LRV.As with all methods to co

41、rrelateintegrity test results to LRV the relationship should be verifiedby field tests for the particular membrane and configurationused.X2. GUIDANCE TO OBTAINING RELIABLE AND QUALITY MEASUREMENT DATA FROM CONTINUOUSMONITORING SYSTEMSX2.1 Throughout Practice D, there contains several piecesof key sa

42、mpling information related to instrument setup,sampling and data handling that aid in achieving optimumreliability and sensitivity for these technologies.Asummary ofthis information is provided below:X2.1.1 Common turbimeters such as those that comply withU.S. EPAMethod 180.1 are not suggested for u

43、se due to havinglower sensitivity. Laser turbidimeters with a greater sensitivityare suggested (see 22.3).X2.1.2 Insure instrumentation is installed at appropriatesample points that insure a homogeneous and representativesample. Sample points that insure filtrate or permeate waterchanges direction (

44、such as following a 90-degree elbow) aresuggested (see 23.3.1).X2.1.3 Instrument bodies (sensor bodies) must be condi-tioned prior to the establishment of any baseline that is used foran upper control limit (UCL) or alarm condition. A stablecontinuous monitoring baseline is represented by a levelmea

45、surement values that are void of random and unpredictedspikes (see 25.1).X2.1.4 Continuous monitoring methods can be applied toeither positive or negative filtration, but both types requiredifferent sampling to minimize bubble interference. The fol-lowing information can be used as guidance for spec

46、ific typesof membranes:X2.1.4.1 For UF, NF, and RO systems with no air backwashrequire the least amount of sampling conditioning becausebubble generation during the cleaning processes in minimal.Typically, reverse-flow cleanings do not cause spikes in themeasured values. Standard sampling protocols

47、that are pro-vided by the instrument manufacturers are adequate (see 23.3).X2.1.4.2 MF and UF systems that are outside infiltrationprocesses often use air scour at the within filtration cycle. Forthese systems, bubble generation and subsequent bubble inter-ference can occur. For these systems bubble

48、 interferences areminimized through the use of: (1) sample chambers that can bepressurized to prevent further outgassing (see 25.1); (2) addi-tional bubble traps such as those that contain a larger volumemay be added to dampen bubble interference (see 25.1); (3) theintegration of a signal from the r

49、ack that indicates the stoppageof forward filtration flow can be fed to either the plant(SCADA) system or data logging program. Under this condi-tion data is either ignored or not logged (see 25.2); and (4) atime lag should be incorporated into the data logging programto ignore data for the first 2 to 6 minutes (user changeable) afterthe completion of an air-scour cleaning procedure. This is to allfor air to vacate sample lines prior to resuming the logging ofmeasurement data (see 25.2). Many instruments contain mea-surement algorithms that aid in the reduction or r
