Water conditioning equipment inside buildings - Membrane separation devices - Requirements for performance, safety and testing

This European Standard specifies requirements relating to the construction, performance and methods of testing for membrane separation systems with a particle rating below 1 m, namely microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) for drinking water installations inside buildings, intended to remove from the drinking water marginal concentrations of suspended and colloidal solids, microorganisms, organic molecules and/or to reduce the dissolved solids concentration and applies to systems with a minimum pressure of PN 10, connections between DN 15 and DN 100 and a maximum working temperature of at least 30 °C.
This European Standard applies to membrane separation systems, whose elements may be partly or entirely cleanable or disposable in accordance with the type of system. It only concerns units which are permanently connected to the mains supply at the point-of-entry or the point-of-use.
A membrane separation system may include, together with the separation device pre- and /or post-treatment devices.
For the scope of this European Standard:
-   separation device shall comply with this European Standard, i.e. without pre-and/or post-treatments;
-   where pre-and/or post-treatment devices are incorporated in the system, each of them shall conform to the relevant standard. If this is the case, the complete system shall be considered as conforming as a whole.

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an die Konstruktion, Funktion und Prüfverfahren für Membranfilteranlagen mit einer Filterfeinheit von weniger als 1 m, nämlich Mikrofiltration (MF), Ultrafiltration (UF), Nanofiltration (NF) und Umkehrosmose (RO), für Trinkwasser-Installationen innerhalb von Gebäuden zum Entfernen von Grenzkonzentrationen an suspendierten und kolloidalen Feststoffen, Mikroorganismen, organischen Molekülen aus dem Trinkwasser und/oder zur Verringerung der Konzentration gelöster Feststoffe fest und gilt für Anlagen mit einem minimalen Nenndruck PN 10, Anschlüssen zwischen DN 15 und DN 100 und einer maximalen Betriebstemperatur von 30 °C.
Diese Europäische Norm bezieht sich auf Membranfilteranlagen, deren Bestandteile in Abhängigkeit von der Bauart der Anlage teilweise oder vollständig rückspülbar oder zum einmaligen Gebrauch bestimmt sein können. Es gilt nur für fest installierte Einheiten am Eintrittspunkt oder an der Entnahmestelle der Versorgungsleitung.
Eine Membranfilteranlage kann zusätzlich zur Filtervorrichtung Einrichtungen zur Vor- und/oder Nachbehandlung enthalten.
Für den Anwendungsbereiches der vorliegenden Europäischen Norm muss
   die Filtervorrichtung dieser Europäischen Norm entsprechen, d. h. ohne Vor- und Nachbehandlungen;
   wenn Einrichtungen zur Vor- und/oder Nachbehandlung in der Anlage vorgesehen sind, jede einzelne der zutreffenden Norm entsprechen. Wenn das der Fall ist, muss die gesamte Anlage als Ganzes übereinstimmend angesehen werden.

The claim shall be tested in accordance with the test method defined in A.1.1.

The test procedure shall be appropriate to the manufacturer’s claims and the relevant test methods could need to be adapted for the specific performance being claimed. The following performance requirements are the ones commonly adopted for evaluating different types of membranes. NOTE Most MF membrane manufacturers do not currently use the test method described in A.3.1 for testing the membrane efficiency at a claimed particle rating. They more commonly use test methods for testing the membrane integrity, i.e. the degree to which a membrane device rejects particles of interest. The integrity tests are mostly based on the First Bubble Point principle, i.e. the surface tension of the water filling the pores of a membrane opposes the air to pass through the membrane when air pressure is applied to one side of the membrane. The Bubble Point is the minimum pressure required to overcome this surface tension which is inversely proportional to the

Test methods A.1 Hydraulic performance A.1.1 General Testing the differential pressure is applicable to MF and UF membranes operating in dead-end mode. NOTE The following test should be performed after having tested the compliance of the module (with or without its housing) with the relevant performance test. A.1.2 Principle The test consists of imposing an increasing flow rate of water through the device with the membrane module and measuring the corresponding differential pressure. A.1.3 Test equipment The basic components of this test rig (see Figure A.1) are: a) source of pressurised water capable of supplying a flow rate 20 % greater than the maximum test flow rate. A suitable control device shall allow continuous variation of flow rate from zero to the desired value; b) tank that prevents air entrapment and air particle ingression; c) temperature gauge and regulator at (25 ± 2) °C; d) clean-up filter with threshold smaller than 0,2 µm; e) pressure tappings installed on a straight pipe on both sides of the filter at a distance equal to approximately 6 times the inside diameter upstream and 4 times the downstream diameter; f) test liquid: permeate from RO unit, freshly prepared (< 24 h before testing); g) measuring instruments with the precision as follows:  flow rate: ± 2 % of actual value;  pressure: ± 2 % of actual value;  temperature: ± 0,5°C.
