Transmembrane Pressure (TMP) - definition The pressure drop across a membrane. The TMP value is calculated by subtracting clean water pipe losses from a measured in-pipe pressure measurement and normalizing for the static water head above the pressure sensor. Categories: Terminology P - Z, P thru What is the MAP to MBR Success? The Enviroquip MAP to MBR Success is a simple tool for remembering the necessary steps for ensuring long term successful operations of your flat plate MBR system.
MAP To MBR Success Monitor and Trend Monitoring and reviewing trend data for the following items will provide insight to a systems health and performance. • Permeability • TMP • Air Scour Rate • MLSS • Filterability • Diffuser Clean Cycles • MLSS • Filterability • Diffuser Clean Cycles
Act • Perform a membrane Maintenance Cleaning if TMP increases by 1.0 psi at a given flow (pick one) or permeability drops below 10gfd/psi. Remember the maximum TMP is 3.0 psig. • Never allow filtration without aeration. No exceptions. Low air at low flux is okay at high permeability. • Immediately and properly respond to Critical Alarms. • Keep MBR MLSS concentration at or below 15, 000 mg/L unless otherwise instructed. • Keep diffusers clean at all times by extending cleaning time or cleaning more frequently, if necessary. Clean for 10 min/day as a minimum.
Prepare Post a detailed plan listing Critical Alarms and how to respond to each alarm. • High TMP • Low Permeability • Permeate Pump or FCV Failure/Fault

• MBR Low Level • No Blowers Available (or too few blowers available) • High High Level (Imminent Overflow) • MBR Low Air Flow • Recycle Pump Failure • Diffuser Clean Valve Failure • HMI/PLC Communications Failure Categories: Warranty / Support, Warranty and Support, MBR Subsystems, Chemical Cleaning, Miscellaneous, Genera How does static pressure figure into my TMP calculation? For systems where the control elements (valve or pump) are below the water level in the MBR, a level signal can be used to determine PS. However, most systems do not have a level transmitter in the MBR and it is typical for pumped systems to have the centerline of the pump above the measured water level. Therefore, the PLC must record the last static pressure measured during a relax period of no flow and set that equal to PS. This means that PS is constantly being updated. If the system is in Intermittent Mode for any length of time, the PLC use the static pressure recorded during the last relax state for calculating TMP. Categories: MBR Subsystems, MBR Zone, Permeate Contro Is TMP the same as suction pressure? It's not quite that easy. (1) In strict terms, the pressure difference between the high and low pressure side of a membrane is referred to as transmembrane pressure or TMP. This generally includes the pressure across a biofilm. (2) The calculation of Pressure (TMP) requires a correlation between flow, piping losses and additional logic to estimate static pressure. Generally speaking it is the actual pressure required to move water through the membranes, after taking all the other variables into consideration. Two reversible calculations for your reference are:
or Where, PP = Piping system losses (no membranes) PG = Gauge pressure reading during filtration PS = Static pressure or gauge pressure reading at zero filtration or no flow
