Foreword
The Information Collection Rule (ICR) for Public Water Systems (Subpart M of the National
Primary Drinking Water Regulations, § 141.141 (e)) requires public water systems that meet
certain applicability criteria to conduct disinfection byproduct (DBP) precursor removal studies,
referred to as treatment studies. These treatment studies are intended to provide cost and
performance data on granular activated carbon (GAC) and membrane processes for meeting
proposed DBP regulations.
A rule by reference document, the ICR Manual For Bench- and Pilot-Scale Treatment
Studies (EPA 814-B-96-003, April 1996), states that the Final Treatment Study Report shall
consist of data collection software containing the actual treatment study data and a hard-copy
summary report containing details of the study not included in the software.
The purpose of the ICR Treatment Studies Data Collection Spreadsheets and the
accompanying User's Guide is to provide a mechanism for reporting the results from the ICR
Treatment Studies to EPA in a uniform, electronic format. The user's guide is intended to:
• Describe the use of the Data Collection Spreadsheets in reporting treatment study results.
• Provide example spreadsheets containing data to demonstrate the use of the spreadsheets.
• List the nomenclature and equations used in the Data Collection Spreadsheets.
• Provide detailed guidance on the preparation of the hard-copy Treatment Study Summary
Report that will complement the data contained in the Data Collection Spreadsheets in the
Final Treatment Study Report.
The spreadsheets and user's guide are being provided to all public water systems potentially
subject to the ICR Treatment Study requirement, as well as all ICR approved laboratories that
may provide analytical support for the treatment studies. Additionally, a limited number of copies
will be provided through the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at no charge. These additional copies
are intended for consultants and laboratories that are involved in conducting treatment studies or
providing analytical support for the studies. To order a copy of the ICR Treatment Studies Data
Collection Spreadsheets and User's Guide through the Safe Drinking Water Hotline call 1-800-
426-4791.
Copies of the ICR Treatment Studies Data Collection Spreadsheets and User's Guide are also
available for a fee from the National Technical Information Services (NTIS), U.S. Department of
Commerce, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161. The toll free number for NTIS is
1-800-553-6847.

Notice
This document has been subjected to the Agency's peer and administrative review process,
and it has been approved for publication as an EPA document. This product has been reviewed at
various stages of development by independent, technical experts both within and outside of the
Agency. Reviewers were selected on the basis of their knowledge of the ICR treatment study
requirements as well as experience in conducting and reporting the results from pilot- or bench-
scale studies; however, there was no requirement that the reviewers be familiar with spreadsheet
applications since this product is intended for use by a general audience. Additionally, individuals
that are likely to use the final product (i.e., water utility personnel, consultants and laboratory
personnel) were targeted as reviewers.
The selected reviewers were mailed a draft copy of the document and spreadsheets along with
a review form and letter providing instruction for the review. Reviewers were asked to provide
written comments on the appropriateness of spreadsheets for reporting the results from the ICR
Treatment Studies, the usability of the spreadsheets, the clarity of the instructions in the User's
Guide, the proposed format for the Treatment Study Summary Report, and any other issues
identified by the reviewer. All of the written comments received from the reviewers are
maintained in the peer review record for this product. The major comments and the manner in
which they were addressed are summarized here.
• In general, the reviewers commented that the Data Collection Spreadsheets are an acceptable
mechanism for submitting the results from the treatment studies, and that the spreadsheets are
easy to use when following the documentation and example spreadsheets in the User's Guide.
Some reviewers did comment that the large size of these spreadsheets may make them
cumbersome to use. Unfortunately, the large size is necessary to report all of the detailed data
that will be generated during the treatment studies. In order to make these large spreadsheets
easier to navigate, an Excel workbook format was utilized, which uses different worksheets to
capture different data sets.
• Reviewers commented that the instructions in the user's guide are clear and easy to follow,
and many indicated that the hard-copy spreadsheet fields and the appendices containing the
nomenclature and equations were especially helpful.
• In general, the reviewers commented that the hard-copy Treatment Study Summary Report is
a good mechanism to capture the details of the study that are not included in the Data
Collection Spreadsheets. However, some reviewers felt that more detailed guidance on the
preparation of this report was required. To address this concern, the proposed outline for the
Treatment Study Summary Report was redesigned to focus on the essential information to be
included in this report, and extraneous reporting requirements were deleted. Guidance on the
preparation of this summary report was revised to include detailed requirements and numerous
examples of the elements to be included in the report.
• Some reviewers commented that the QA/QC reporting requirements in the review draft of the
guide were not well defined. To address this concern a subsection was added to the
document specifying the information that must be included in the QA/QC Summary section of
the Treatment Study Summary Report.
111
-------
• One reviewer suggested that the spreadsheets be formatted to print each field in a field-set.
To address this comment the spreadsheets were formatted with predefined views and reports
that can easily be printed using the View Manager and Report Manager tools in Excel.
• A few comments and suggestions were received regarding the technical aspects of conducting
treatment studies. The requirements and guidance for conducting ICR Treatment Studies are
included in the ICR Manual For Bench- and Pilot-Scale Treatment Studies (EPA 814-B-96-
003, April 1996) which is a rule by reference document. The purpose of the Data Collection
Spreadsheets and User's Guide is to provide a streamlined mechanism for reporting the
results from the treatment studies. Modifications to the technical and regulatory requirements
of the ICR is outside the scope of this document.

1.0 Introduction
The purpose of this guide is to assist public water systems (PWSs) in reporting the results
from the ICR treatment studies to EPA. A PWS must submit one Final Treatment Study
Report for each treatment study conducted by a treatment plant operated by the PWS. The
Final Treatment Study Report is due in its entirety no later than July 14, 1999. As stated
in Part 1 of the ICR Manual For Bench- and Pilot-Scale Treatment Studies (EPA 814-B-96-
003, April 1996), the Final Treatment Study Report shall consist of data collection software
containing the actual treatment study data and a hard-copy summary report containing details
of the study not included in the software. The data collection software will be referred to as
the ICR Treatment Study Data Collection Spreadsheets (or just Data Collection Spreadsheets)
and the hard-copy summary report will be referred to as the Treatment Study Summary Report.
This guide describes the Data Collection Spreadsheets that must be used to report the
results from the treatment study. Specific spreadsheets are provided for both GAC and
membrane technologies using either pilot- or bench-scale testing approaches. This document
also contains guidance on the preparation of the hard-copy Treatment Study Summary Report
which will accompany the Data Collection Spreadsheets in the Final Treatment Study Report.
This guide is organized as follows:
• Section 2.0, Selecting And Loading The Appropriate Data Collection Spreadsheets,
explains how to select the correct compressed spreadsheet file for a specific type of
treatment study, and how to "extract" the working file(s) from the compressed file.
• Section 3.0, Using The Data Collection Spreadsheets, describes the format and
organization of the Data Collection Spreadsheets and provides a general explanation of the
use of these spreadsheets.
• Section 4.0, Spreadsheet For GAC RSSCT Bench-Scale Studies, describes the spreadsheet
used to report the results from RSSCT, bench-scale GAC studies.
• Appendix 4a, GAC RSSCT Equations And Nomenclature, lists the nomenclature and
equations used in the GAC RSSCT spreadsheet.
• Section 5.0, Spreadsheet For GAC Pilot-Scale Studies, describes the spreadsheet used to
report the results from pilot-scale GAC studies.
• Appendix 5a, GAC Pilot-Scale Equations And Nomenclature, lists the nomenclature and
equations used in the GAC,pilot-scale spreadsheet.
• Section 6.0, Spreadsheets For Membrane RBSMT Bench-Scale Studies, describes the
spreadsheets used to report the results from RBSMT, bench-scale membrane studies.
• Appendix 6a, Membrane RBSMT Equations And Nomenclature, lists the nomenclature
and equations used in the membrane RBSMT spreadsheets.
• Section 7.0, Spreadsheets For Membrane SEBST Bench-Scale Studies, describes the
spreadsheets used to report the results from SEBST, bench-scale membrane studies.
• Appendix 7a, Membrane SEBST Equations And Nomenclature, lists the nomenclature and
equations used in the membrane SEBST spreadsheets.
• Section 8.0, Spreadsheet For Membrane LT-SEBST Bench-Scale Studies] describes the
spreadsheet used to report results from long-term SEBST, bench-scale membrane studies.
1-1
-------
• Appendix 8a, Membrane LT-SEBST Equations And Nomenclature, lists the nomenclature
and equations used in the membrane LT-SEBST spreadsheet.
• Section 9.0, Spreadsheet For Membrane Pilot-Scale Studies, describes the spreadsheet
used to report the results from pilot-scale membrane studies.
• Appendix 9a, Membrane Pilot-Scale Equations And Nomenclature, lists the nomenclature
and equations used in the membrane pilot-scale spreadsheet.
• Section 10.0, Format For Hard-Copy Treatment Study Summary Report, provides guidance
on the preparation of a summary report that captures details of the study not included in the
Data Collection Spreadsheets.
• Section 11.0, Submitting The Final Treatment Study Report, lists the address and format
for submitting the Final Treatment Study Report.
The following sections provide general instruction on the use of these spreadsheets, as well
as guidance on the preparation of the hard-copy Treatment Study Summary Report: Section
2.0, Selecting And Loading The Appropriate Data Collection Spreadsheets: Section 3.0, Using
The Data Collection Spreadsheets: Section 10.0, Format For Hard-Copy Treatment Study
Summary Report: and Section 11.0, Submitting The Final Treatment Study Report. It is
recommended that everyone read these four sections.
Sections 4.0 through 9.0 are self-contained and independent of one another, and only those
sections relevant to the study being conducted need to be read. For example, if only
RSSCT studies are being conducted, the user only needs to read Section 4.0, Spreadsheet For
GAC RSSCT Bench-Scale Studies, and Appendix 4a, GAG RSSCT Equations And
Nomenclature.
The detailed requirements and guidance for conducting the treatment studies are not
included in this guide, but rather in the ICR Manual for Bench- and Pilot-Scale Treatment
Studies. It is assumed that the user of this guide is familiar with the details of the treatment
study for the particular technology and scale being investigated.
Questions regarding use of the Data Collection Spreadsheets should be directed to the Safe
Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 or the ICR Treatment Studies Coordinator at 513-
569-7131.

2.0 Selecting And Loading The Appropriate Data Collection Spreadsheets
The spreadsheets were developed for use with EXCEL Release 5.0 for WINDOWS.
Newer releases of Excel (i.e., Release 7.0) will be able to read these spreadsheet files;
however, older versions or different spreadsheet applications may not be able to read these
files. Excel is the preferred software application for use with the Data Collection Spreadsheets
since other software applications perform certain calculations differently than Excel.
However, if you do not have access to Excel 5.0 or later a version of Excel, you may contact
the ICR Treatment Studies Coordinator at 513-569-7131 to request the Data Collection
Spreadsheets in a different software format.
All of the Excel spreadsheet files are contained on three enclosed diskettes as six self-
extracting, compressed files. (The fourth diskette contains PKZIP compression software
which will be discussed later in this section.) Each compressed file is specific to a particular
type of treatment study, and Table 2-1 lists the compressed files along with the corresponding
working files (note that the compressed files rbsmt.exe and sebst.exe contain multiple working
files). Use this table to select the self-extracting, compressed file that corresponds to the
treatment study that you are conducting.
Before the spreadsheets can be opened in Excel, the working files must be extracted from
the compressed files. The file extraction procedure is as follows:
1. Insert the diskette containing the appropriate compressed file into the 3.5 inch floppy drive
of your computer, and use the File Manager (Windows 3. Ix) or Windows Explorer
(Windows 95) to view the files on the diskette.
2. Double click on the compressed file name corresponding to the study being conducted
(e.g., if RSSCT studies are being conducted, double click on gacrssct.exe). A "PKSFX"
window will open.
3. Under "Extract To," select the drive and directory where you want the working files to be
located after they are extracted (e.g., C:\icr\gacstudy). CAUTION: do not extract the
working files to the floppy diskette.
4. Click on the "Extract" button to begin extracting the working files.
5. If the directory specified under Step 3 does not exist, then a window will open giving you
the option to create the directory. Click the "Yes" button if you want to create the
directory.
6. Once the extraction is complete, the files can be viewed in the directory selected in Step 3.
As shown in Table 2-1, Disk 4 of the ICR Treatment Study Data Collection Spreadsheets
contains a licensed copy of PKZIP, which is a software application used to compress computer
files. It may be necessary to use PKZIP to compress the Data Collection Spreadsheets so that
the files can be returned to EPA using standard 3.5 inch, 1.44 MB high density diskettes.
Note: The PKZIP software included with the ICR Treatment Study Data Collection
Spreadsheets is only licensed for use during submission of ICR treatment study results to
EPA. Any other use of this licensed copy of PKZIP is prohibited.
2-1
-------
Before the PKZIP compression software can be used, it must be installed to the hard drive
(or network) of your computer. The following procedure is used to install PKZIP:
1. Insert Disk 4 of the Data Collection Spreadsheets into the 3.5 inch floppy drive of your
computer, and use the File Manager (Windows 3.1x) or Windows Explorer (Windows 95)
to view the files on the diskette.
2. If you are using Windows 3. Ix, double click on the file setupl6.exe. If you are using
Windows 95 or Windows NT, double click on the file setup.exe. A "PKSFX" window
will open.
3. The default directory for the installation of PKZIP is C:\PKWARE\PKZIPW. If this
directory is acceptable, proceed to Step 4; if not, enter the new path and directory for the
installation of PKZIP.
4. Click the "Extract" button to begin extracting the working files.
5. If the directory specified under Step 3 (e.g., C:\PKWARE\PKZIPW) does not exist, then a
window will open giving you the option to create the directory. Click the "Xes" button if
you want to create the directory.

3.0 Using The Data Collection Spreadsheets
3.1 Opening The Spreadsheets
The ICR Treatment Study Data Collection Spreadsheets are opened in the same manner as
typical spreadsheet applications:
1. Open Excel 5.0 by double clicking on the program icon.
2. Once the application is running, select Eile then Open, and then specify the appropriate
Drrye, Directory and File Name for the Excel working file.
3. Click the OK button to open the specified working file.
3.2 General Organization Of The Spreadsheets
The Data Collection Spreadsheets are similar to other spreadsheet applications; however,
they are organized in a specific manner for the purpose of reporting results from the treatment
studies. These spreadsheets are organized into fields-sets which consist of several fields, and
fields are made up of one or more blocks of cells. These terms are defined as follows:
• Cells are the individual units that make-up a spreadsheet, and groups of related cells are
organized into blocks and fields. Each cell is defined by a unique address that consists of
a single or double letter identifying the cell column and a number identifying the cell row
(e.g., B2, S45, BD104). In these spreadsheets, cells are used to enter datum such as a
TOC concentration, or text such the name of a pretreatment process.
• Blocks are groups of cells (e.g., B5:F24) containing related data elements, and one to
several blocks make up a field. In these spreadsheets, blocks are used to enter groups of
similar data such as the input design parameters for a GAC pilot run or one set of weekly
water quality results from a single element membrane study.
• Fields consist of one or more blocks that contain related data elements. Similar to blocks,
fields are used to enter groups of related data, but in some cases multiple blocks of data
make up a single field.
• Field-sets consist of several fields. A single field-set is used to report the complete set of
results from one study. For example, one field-set in the gacrssct.xls file is used to report
all of the results from one quarterly RSSCT study. In the Data Collection Spreadsheets,
individual field-sets are contained in separate worksheets.
Note: Many of the fields in these spreadsheets are similar to the data tables included in
Parts 2 and 3 of the ICR Manual for Bench- and Pilot-Scale Treatment Studies.
3.3 Spreadsheet Equations And Cell Protection
The Data Collection Spreadsheets are designed to perform many automatic calculations;
however, the calculations will only yield correct results if the data are entered in the specified
units. Thus, it is critical that data entered in the spreadsheets be consistent with the
listed units. Cells that contain equations are indicated by shading, and data should never be
entered directly into these cells unless there is a need to overwrite the equation and enter a
value directly into the spreadsheet. In order to prevent the accidental deletion of spreadsheet
equations, the spreadsheet has been "protected" all cells containing equations have been
"locked." If it is necessary to overwrite or modify an existing equation, the following
procedure can be used to unprotect the sheet and unlock specific cells:
3-1
-------
1. From the Excel menu bar select lools then Erotection then Unpjotect Sheet. This will
allow all cells in the spreadsheet file to be modified.
2. In order to unlock specific cells, first "unprotect" the sheet as described in Step 1. Next
select the cells which are to be unlocked, then from the menu bar select Format then Cells
then the "Protection" tab, then click on the box next to Locked and click the "OK" button.
If there is an "x" next to Locked then the selected cells will remain locked after the sheet is
protected, while an empty box next to Locked indicates that the cells will be unlocked after
the sheet is protected.
3. In order to protect the sheet after making modifications, select Tools then Erotection then
Erotect Sheet. A "Protect Sheet" window will open with an option to enter a Eassword.
Do not enter a password. Make sure that an "x" appears in each of the three boxes in
this window and click the "OK" button. This will protect the spreadsheet and prevent
locked cells from being modified.
Tip: Worksheets will need to be Unprotected in order to print a View or a Report. See
Section 3.6, Printing The Spreadsheets, for a further explanation of printing Views and
Reports.
Every Data Collection Spreadsheet file includes one example field-set which contains
example data. The purpose of these example field-sets is to clarify the use of the spreadsheets
and to verify that the spreadsheet equations are functioning properly. Equations can be
indirectly verified by comparing values on the hard-copy example fields, included as exhibits
in Sections 4.0 through 9.0, with the calculated values in the example fields in the spreadsheet
files. Direct verification of spreadsheet equations is performed by manually calculating a
value and comparing it with the value calculated by the spreadsheet. All equations and
nomenclature used in these spreadsheets are listed hi the appendix to each section.
The spreadsheet equations have been extensively tested, and it is unlikely that any of the
equations will produce erroneous results unless the file has been corrupted. If an equation
appears to he producing erroneous results, the user should check that all cells referenced
by the spreadsheet equation contain correct values reported hi the specified units.
In most cases, it will not be necessary to insert cells, columns, or rows into the
spreadsheets. If it is necessary to insert cells into the spreadsheet, the situation should be
evaluated to determine wether it is more appropriate to insert individual cells/groups of cells or
entire rows/columns. If cells, rows or columns are inserted into the spreadsheet, it is
important to verify that this action does not affect the automatic spreadsheet calculations.
3.4 Entering Data In The Spreadsheets
As with any other spreadsheet application, data are entered into the appropriate cells by
clicking on that cell and typing in the appropriate value. Unlike cells containing equations,
data entry cells are not "locked" and are not shaded. Data entry cells are used to report
numeric values such as the concentration of a specific water quality parameter, or text such as
a process description.
3-2
-------
There may be cases in which a numeric value will not be entered into a cell used to report
the results from a water quality analysis. For example, the concentration may be below the
minimum reporting level (MRL) or the analysis may have failed QA/QC criteria. The
following is a list of symbols that should be used to indicate that a value could not be reported
for a specific water quality analysis:
BMRL = Below the minimum reporting level
NA = Not analyzed
NR = Not reported due to a QA/QC failure
BMRL is used to indicate that the concentration of a specific analyte was below the
minimum reporting level for that analysis. The minimum reporting levels used in the ICR are
specified in the DBP/ICR Analytical Methods Manual (EPA 814-B-96-002, April 1996). It is
acceptable to use MRLs lower than those specified in the DBF Manual if the following criteria
are met: the MRL must be equal to or greater than twice the minimum detection level, and the
lab must meet the QC acceptance criteria for the MRL concentration listed in the DBP/ICR
Analytical Methods Manual at the lower MRL concentration (e.g., if a laboratory reports an
MRL of 0.2 mg/L for TOC, then the blank must be < 0.1 mg/L, the low level calibration
verification standard concentration must be 0.2 mg/L, the precision at 0.2 mg/L must be ^
20% RPD, etc.). The MRL for each water quality parameter analyzed during the treatment
study must be reported in the Treatment Study Summary Report as described in Section 10.5.
NA is used to indicate that a sample was not analyzed. Possible reasons that NA may be
reported include: optional water quality parameters that were not analyzed, samples that have
exceeded the specified holding time, broken sample bottles, improper storage conditions, etc.
NR indicates that a sample was analyzed but not reported due to a QA/QC failure, such as
failure to verify instrument calibration at the required frequency, failure to meet acceptance
criteria for a calibration verification standard, failure to run a duplicate analysis when
required, etc.
Note: Excel treats text entries such as BMRL, NA and NR as no data entry, and ignores
these entries when performing calculations. Example: Assuming the following data are
entered into an Excel spreadsheet, 5, 7, 9, BMRL, and NA, Excel will calculate the sum
of these five entries as 21 and the average as 7. Also, the spreadsheets are set up to
calculated the sum of average values, not the average of two or more sums (e.g., for a
duplicate THM4 analysis, the average THM4 concentration is calculated by computing the
average for each individual THM and summing these four average concentrations).
Note: The analytical results from the treatment studies will not undergo the automated
QA/QC review process used to validate the results from the 18 months of ICR monitoring.
Rather, the QA/QC Summary in the hard-copy Treatment Study Summary Report will be
evaluated to determine whether or not the QA/QC procedures specified in the ICR/DBP
Analytical Methods Manual were followed, and to assess the quality of the data. The
evaluation of this QA/QC information will be used to determine whether or not the results
from the treatment study are used in the data analysis. It is the responsibility of the PWS
3-3
-------
and laboratory to screen individual analytical results to ensure that only data meeting
the QA/QC criteria are entered into the Data Collection Spreadsheets. The laboratory
and PWS must also maintain a record of the QA/QC followed during the treatment study,
and in the event of an audit, this documentation must be made available to EPA.
3.5 Saving And Compressing The Spreadsheets
After entering data into a spreadsheet, the file can be saved using the current file name or a
new file name by invoking the Save or Save As command, respectively. When all of the data
have been entered into the Data Collection Spreadsheets, the file(s) should be copied onto a
new diskette(s) which will be returned to EPA as part of the Final Treatment Study Report.
After data has been entered into the Data Collection Spreadsheets, the files may be too
large to be saved to standard 1.44 MB high density diskettes. In this case it will be necessary
to reduce the file size by: (1) deleting worksheets in the ICR Treatment Study Data Collection
Spreadsheet which do not contain treatment study data (e.g., example field-sets or empty field-
sets); and/or (2) compressing the file using the PKZIP software included on Disk 4 of the ICR
Treatment Study Data Collection Spreadsheets.
The following procedure is used to compress files using the PKZIP software:
1. Install the PKZIP software as described in Section 2.0.
2. Open the PKZIP software by double clicking on the program icon.
3. From the PKZIP menu bar, click F_ile and then New. A "Save As" window will open.
4. Under File Name, specify the name that you wish to assign to the compressed file. In
order to help EPA track the Data Collection Spreadsheets, name the file using the
following format:. ICR, followed by the three or four digit plant ICR#, followed by the
.zip extension (e.g., ICR1234.zip).
5. Under Directories and Driy.es, select the location where you want the compressed file to
be created.
6. An "Add Files" window will open in which you must specify the file(s) that are to be
compressed. Select the Driye and Directory containing the file(s) to be compressed.
7. Highlight the name of the file(s) that you wish to store in the compressed file specified in
Step 4. Click the "Add Eiles" button.
8. The file(s) will appear under "Files and Directories to Zip." Once all of the file(s) have
been selected, click the "OK" button.
9. An "Add Status" window will open while the files are being compresses. When the
compression has been completed, click the "Done" button.
10. A window will open containing information about the file(s) contained in the compressed
file. Close this window.
11. Close PKZIP for Windows.
12. Copy the compressed file to a 3.5 inch diskette for submission as part of the Final
Treatment Study Report.
13. Details regarding the logistics of data submission are discussed in Section 11.0.

3.6 Printing The Spreadsheets
The fields in the Data Collection Spreadsheets can be printed using one of three different
procedures: printing selections, printing views, or printing reports. Of these three approaches,
printing views is preferred since this procedure is quicker than printing selections and produces
a superior format compared to printing reports. Instructions for each of these printing
procedures will be discussed in this section. • ' . , •
Printing Selections is the most involved printing procedure, but may be the only option
available if certain Add-Ins are not available in the Excel package being used. (Excel Add-Ins
are discussed on page 3-7.) This procedure requires the user to select a field, setup the page
and print the selection. The following steps are use to print a selection:
1. Select the block of cells to be printed (e.g., this is typically one field).
2. From the Eile pull-down menu select Erint. A "Print" window will open.
3. Under the heading "Print What" select Selection.
4. Click on the "Page Setup" button and go to the "Page" tab.
5. Under the heading "Orientation" select the orientation of the sheet (i.e., Portrait or
Landscape).
6. Under the heading "Scaling" select "Eit to pages wide by tall" and enter the
appropriate number of pages in each blank. Once the orientation and scaling have been
specified, click the "OK" button to accept the page setup and to close the "Page Setup"
window.
Tip: The hard-copy printouts of the fields included in this document can be used to select
an appropriate page setup for a field (i.e., Portrait vs. Landscape, and an estimate of the
number of pages required to print each field).
7. After closing the "Page Setup" window, you will return to the "Print" window. Click the
"OK" button to print the selection according to the page setup specified in Steps 5 and 6.
8. Repeat this procedure for all fields to be printed.
Printing Views is similar to printing selections except that printing views takes advantage
of predefined views saved in the Data Collection Spreadsheets. In order to print views, the
Yiew Manager must be available in the Excel package being used (see the discussion on Excel
Add-Ins on page 3-7). Also, to enable the Yiew Manger, the worksheets must be
Unprotected. The following procedure is used to print a predefined view:
1. Assuming that the worksheet is protected, the first step is to Unpjotect the worksheet.
From the Tools pull-down menu select Erotection and Unprotect Sheet to enable the Yiew
Manager. ;
2. From the Yiew pull-down menu select Yiew Manager, and a "View Manager" window
will open. '
3. Under Yiews, select the view that you wish to print. The name of each view corresponds
to the field designation in the worksheet.
4. Click the "Show" button to go to the selected view.
5. From the Eile pull-down menu select Erint. A "Print" window will open.
6. Click the "Page Setup" button and go to the "Page" tab.
3-5
-------
7. Under the heading "Orientation" select the orientation of the sheet (i.e., Portrait or
Landscape).
8. Under the heading "Scaling" select "Eit to pages wide by tall" and enter the
appropriate number of pages in each blank. Once the orientation and scaling have been
specified, click the "OK" button to accept the page setup and to close the "Page Setup"
window.
Tip: The hard-copy printouts of the fields included in this document can be used to select
an appropriate page setup for a field (i.e., Portrait vs. Landscape, and an estimate of the
number of pages required to print each field).
9. After closing the "Page Setup" window, you will return to the "Print" window. Click the
"OK" button to print the selection according to the page setup specified in Steps 7 and 8.
10. Repeat this procedure for all fields to be printed.
Tip: Additional views can be defined by the user. To create a view, select the block of
cells that are to be included in the view. Next, click the "Set Print Area" button, located
on the Excel tool bar. From the Yiew pull-down menu select Yiew Manager, and a
"View Manager" window will open. Click the "Add" button and an "Add View"
window will open. Under the heading "View Includes," make sure that the box next to
Erint Settings is checked. Enter a Name for the view and click the "OK" button to save
the view.
Printing Reports allows a user to print all of the fields in a field-set in one report. This is
the most efficient way to print an entire field-set; however, it will produce the poorest format
of the three printing procedures since the Report Manager allows only one Page Setup to be
used for the entire report.
In order to print a report, the Report Manager and the Yiew Manager must be available in
the Excel package being used (see the discussion on Excel Add-Ins on page 3-7). Also, to
enable the Report Manger and the Yiew Manger, the worksheets must be Unprotected. The
following procedure is used to print a report:
1. Assuming that the worksheet is protected, the first step is to Unpjotect the worksheet.
From the Tools pull-down menu select Erotection and Unprotect Sheet to enable the Report
and Yiew Managers.
Tip: The correct Page Setup for each report has been saved in each worksheet, and if the
orientation and scaling have not been changed from the default values, then Steps 2
through 5 can be skipped.
2. From the Eile pull-down menu select Page Setup, and a "Page Setup" window will open.
3. Select the "Page" tab in the "Page Setup" window.
4. Under the heading "Orientation" select Landscape orientation.
5. Under the heading "Scaling" select "Eit to pages wide by tall" and enter the number
of pages in each blank that are required to print the LARGEST field in each field-set.
3-6
-------
Once the orientation and scaling have been specified, click the "OK" button to accept the
page setup and to close the "Page Setup" window.
6. From the Eile pull-down menu select Print Report, and a "Print Report" window will
open.
7. Under the heading "Reports," select the report that you wish to print. The name of each
report corresponds to a worksheet title (i.e., a field-set).
8. Click on the Erint button to print the selected report.
Tip: Additional reports can be defined by the user. To create a report, select the Eile
pull-down menu and select Print Report. A "Print Report" window will open. Click the
"Add" button and an "Add Report" window will open. Enter a Report Name and specify
the Sheet and each Yiew that you want to add to the report. For each Yiew, click the
"Add" button, and the Yiew will appear under the heading "Sections in this Report."
Once all of the Yiews have been added to the report, click the "OK" button to save the
report. Close the "Print Report" window.
Excel Add-lns are tools that may not be available in some Excel setups. Two Add-Ins are
relevant to printing fields from the Data Collection Spreadsheets, the Yiew Manager and the
Report Manager. To add these tools to Excel, select the Tools pull-down menu and select
Add-Ins. Make sure that an "x" appears in the boxes next to View Manager and Report
Manager, and then click the "OK" button. This will make the Yiew Manager and Report
Manager available in Excel.

4.0 Spreadsheet For GAC RSSCT Bench-Scale Studies
The RSSCT spreadsheet (gacrssct.xls) is designed to contain all of the data from four
quarterly RSSCT studies, with each study consisting of both a 10- and a 20-minute EBCT run.
This spreadsheet consists of five (5) field-sets with nine (9) fields in each field-set. Each field-
set is located on a separate worksheet, and Table 4-1 summarizes the designation, sheet title
and cell range for each field-set.
Field-Set Title (Designation)

Table 4-1 Summary Of RSSCT Field-Sets And Corresponding Sheet Titles
The Example Field-Set (Fields E-l to E-9) demonstrates the use of the RSSCT spreadsheet.
Example data are presented in each field to clarify the use of these spreadsheets and to verify
that the spreadsheet equations are functioning properly. The entire Example Field-Set is
Locked and Protected to prevent data entry on this sheet. Field-Sets 1, 2, 3 and 4 are used to
enter the results from the first, second, third and fourth quarterly RSSCT studies, respectively.
Results from both the 10- and 20-minute empty bed contact time (EBCT) runs are entered in
the same field-set.
The nine fields in each field-set are identified by the field-set designation (i.e., E, 1,2, 3,
or 4) followed by a field designation (i.e., 1 through 9). For example, Field 1-6 is the sixth
field in Field-Set 1, and Field 4-6 is the sixth field in Field-Set 4. Furthermore, fields with
the same field designation are identical (e.g., Field 1-6 is the same as Field 4-6 except that
Field 1-4 is used to report the first set of quarterly results, and Field 4-4 is used to report the
fourth set of quarterly results). The field titles, designations and cell ranges are summarized in
Table 4-2, and the individual fields are described in Sections 4.1 through 4.9.
4.1 Field 1: PWS And Treatment Plant Data (A3.-B30)
Field 1 is used to enter the Public Water System (PWS) and treatment plant data, including
the PWSID#, plant ICR #, and addresses and phone numbers of the official and technical ICR
contacts. Exhibit 4-1 presents an example of Field 1. Some of the information hi Field 1 is
optional (i.e., the WIDE number and e-mail addresses).

Table 4-2 Summary Of RSSCT Data Fields
4.2 Field 2: Full-Scale GAC Characteristics (D3:E11)
Exhibit 4-2 presents an example of Field 2 which is used to enter the characteristics of the
GAC used in the RSSCT study, including the carbon manufacturer, the carbon trade name, the
carbon type and original GAC mesh size. The original carbon mesh size entered in this
field must be representative of the mesh size used in full-scale contactors (e.g., 8 x 30, 12
x 40, etc.) since this mesh size is used to calculate the scaling factor (SF) in the RSSCT
design. The spreadsheet uses the two US standard mesh sizes entered into this field to
calculate the average GAC particle size in millimeters using the US Standard Mesh Sizes
block in Field 3. If the mesh sizes used to report the original carbon size do not appear in this
table, it will be necessary to manually calculate the average particle size of the carbon. If the
mesh size is not known, but the average particle diameter is known, the diameter in
millimeters should be directly entered into the appropriate shaded cell in Field 2, overwriting
the equation in this cell. To overwrite an equation in the spreadsheet, the worksheet must be
Unprotected and the cell unjLocked as described in Section 3.3.
4.3 Field 3: RSSCT Design Parameters (G3:K43)
Field 3 uses information input by the user to calculate the design parameters for the
RSSCT study, and Exhibit 4-3 presents an example of Field 3. The following.parameters must
be entered in the first block of this field, Input Design Parameters (G4:H12), to calculate the
RSSCT design parameters:
4-2
-------
• An estimate of the influent TOC concentration for a RSSCT study in mg/L.
• The inner diameter of the RSSCT column (Dsc) in mm.
• The minimum Reynolds number for the RSSCT run (Resc>min) (0.5 typical).
• The average annual water temperature at the full-scale plant (T°C) in °C.
• The full-scale bed porosity (SLC) (0.45 typical).
• The measured dry bed density for the RSSCT column (psc) in g/on3.
• The upper and lower mesh size for the GAG particles used in the RSSCT columns.
In the next block, Estimated Run Length (G14.-H17), the number of bed volumes to 50%
TOC breakthrough (BV50) is estimated from the influent TOC concentration. The number of
bed volumes for the run (BVT) is estimated as twice the number of bed volumes for 50 % TOC
breakthrough. A conservative estimate of the number of bed volumes for the run is obtained
by applying a 30% factor of safety to BVT, and this conservative estimate is used to estimate
column run times and feed water volume requirements.
The next block, General RSSCT Design Parameters (G19:H25), calculates the design
parameters common to both RSSCT EBCTs. The kinematic viscosity (VLC) at the full-scale
water temperature is calculated from a non-linear regression valid for temperatures between 0
and 40°C. The average RSSCT carbon particle diameter is calculated from the mesh sizes
entered hi the first block and the US Standard Mesh Sizes (J4:K28). If the mesh sizes used in
the RSSCT study do not appear in this table, it will be necessary to manually calculate the
average carbon particle diameter and enter the value into the appropriate shaded cell in Field
3, overwriting the equation in this cell. To overwrite an equation in the spreadsheet, the
worksheet must be Unprotected and the cell unLocked as described in Section 3.3. The
scaling factor (SF), fluid velocity (vsc) and volumetric flow rate (QSc) are also calculated in
this block. An estimate of the total influent water volume requirements (Vsc) is calculated by
summing the volumes required for each EBCT run. The volume requirements for each
individual EBCT run are calculated in the following blocks.
The last two blocks in this field and, 10-Minute EBCT Run (G27.-H34) and 20-Minute
EBCT Run (G36.-H43), calculate the specific design parameters for the 10- and 20-minute
EBCT runs including the actual RSSCT EBCT (EBCTSC), an estimate of the RSSCT run time
(tsc1), the required RSSCT bed length (lsc), an estimate of the influent water volume required
for the specified EBCT run and the dry mass of GAC required for the RSSCT column (msc).
In both of these blocks, the cell for the full-scale EBCT is not Locked to allow other EBCTs to
be entered if evaluated.
4.4 Field 4: Pretreatment Used Prior To GAC (M3:O24)
Exhibit 4-4 presents an example of Field 4 which is used to report all pretreatment
processes used prior to the RSSCT columns. All full-scale, pilot-scale and bench-scale
pretreatment processes should be listed in this field. The process name should be entered,
along with a brief description of the process (e.g., chemical dose, cartridge filter exclusion
size, etc.) and the scale of the process (i.e., full-scale, pilot-scale or bench-scale). Detailed
design information is not required hi this field since these design data will be included in the
hard-copy Treatment Study Summary Report as described in Section 10.0 of this document.
4-3
-------
The purpose of Field 4 is to associate the pretreatment processes used during the RSSCT study
with the data entered in the spreadsheet.
4.5 Field 5: GAC Influent Water Quality For The 10-Minute EBCT Run (Q3.-W56)
Exhibit 4-5 presents an example Field 5 which is used to report the water quality of the
influent to the 10-minute RSSCT column after the influent batch has undergone all
pretreatment processes to be used in the run. The influent water quality parameters are
divided into two groups. "Group A" includes alkalinity, total hardness, calcium hardness,
ammonia and bromide; and all "Group A" water quality parameters must be sampled twice (2)
for each batch of pretreated influent water (i.e. at the beginning and middle of a study).
"Group B" includes pH, turbidity, temperature, total organic carbon (TOC), absorbance at
ultra-violet 254 nm (UV254), SDS-chlorine demand, SDS-TOX, SDS-THM4 and SDS-HAA61;
and all "Group B" water quality parameters must be sampled three (3) times for each batch of
pretreated influent water (i.e. at the beginning, middle and end of a study).
Note: A single batch of pretreated influent water must be large enough to conduct at least
one RSSCT run at one EBCT. It is advantageous to prepare a single batch of pretreated
influent water large enough to run both EBCTs in parallel since this will halve the influent
sampling requirements and facilitate comparison of the results from the two EBCT runs.
The date and time at which the 10-minute EBCT run is started must be entered in the
appropriate cells at the top of Field 5 (R5:R6). The starting date and time are used to calculate
the operation time at which samples were collected throughout the 10-minute EBCT run. The
date and tune at which each influent sample was collected must also be entered in the
appropriate cells in Field 5. The spreadsheet calculates the operation time (in decimal hours)
when the sample was collected as the difference between the sample collection date/time and
the start date/time. The number of bed volumes passed through the column at the time of
sampling is calculated by dividing the operation time by the actual RSSCT EBCT.
Note: If the system was shut-down for a significant period of time (e.g., more than 15
minutes), the spreadsheet will not calculate the accurate operation time. If this is the
case, the operation time must be manually calculated and entered into the spreadsheet,
overwriting the automatic calculation. To overwrite an equation hi the spreadsheet, the sheet
must be Unprotected and the cell unLocked as described in Section 3.3.
Field 5 calculates the arithmetic average and the relative percent difference (RPD) or
percent standard deviation (%SD) for each influent water quality parameter. This field also
calculates SUVA, SDS-chlorine demand, SDS-THM4, SDS-HAA5 and SDS-HAA6.
'Only six HAA species are required, but the additional three HAA species (TBAA,
CDBAA and DCBAA) should be reported if measured.

4.6 Field 6: GAC Influent Water Quality For The 20-Minute EBCT Run (Y3:AE57)
Field 6 is identical to Field 5 except that it is used to report the water quality of the
influent to the 20-minute RSSCT column after the influent batch has undergone all
pretreatment processes. If the same batch of influent is used for both the 10- and the 20-
minute EBCT runs, simply enter the same data in Fields 5 and 6; however,, the starting date
and time entered in cells Z5:Z6 of Field 6 must represent the date/time at which the 20-
minute EBCT run was started. The starting date and time are used to calculate the operation
time at which samples were collected throughout the 20-minute EBCT run.
4.7 Field 7: GAC Effluent Water Quality For The 10-Minute EBCT Run (AG3.-BN46)
Field 7 is used to report the effluent water quality for the 10-minute RSSCT run as a
function of operation time, and an example of Field 7 is shown in Exhibit 4-6. Twelve (12)
effluent samples are to be analyzed for the "Group C" water quality parameters which include:
pH, temperature, TOC, UV254, SDS-chlorine demand, SDS-TOX, SDS-THM4 and SDS-
HAA6. Additionally, the "Group C" water quality analyses must be duplicated for three (3)
effluent samples, and the duplicate water quality samples are designated as "Group D."
In the first block (AG4:BN27), the results from the twelve water quality analyses are
entered, and five extra rows are provided so that additional results can be reported if
measured. The second column of the first block of Field 7 is used to designate whether or not
a sample was duplicated. The results of duplicate samples are not entered into the first block
of Field 7; instead the results from the primary and duplicate analyses are entered in the
second block of Field 7 (AG29:BN46). The second block calculates the average and relative
percent difference for the primary and duplicate analyses. Then the average results from the
primary and duplicate analyses must be entered in the appropriate rows of the first block of
Field 7. For example, Exhibit 4-6 indicates that sample C3-10 was duplicated, so the results
of the primary and duplicate analyses are entered into the second block of Field 7 where the
average and relative percent difference are calculated. Then the average value (Avg-C3-10)
for the primary (C3-10) and duplicate (D-C3-10) analyses is entered in the appropriate row of
the first block. Field 7 also calculates SUVA, SDS-chlorine demand, SDS-THM4, SDS-
HAA5 and SDS-HAA6.
The date and average time at which each effluent sample was collected must be entered in
Field 7. The spreadsheet calculates the average operation time (in decimal hours) when the
sample was collected as the difference between the sample collection date/average time and the
start date/time. (Note that the start date/time for the 10-minute EBCT is entered in Field 5.)
The number of bed volumes passed through the column at the time of sampling is calculated
by dividing the operation time by the RSSCT EBCT.
Note: If the system was shut-down for a significant period of time (e.g., more than 15
minutes), the spreadsheet will not calculate an accurate operation time. If this is the case,
the operation time must be manually calculated and entered into the spreadsheet, overwriting
the automatic calculation. To overwrite an equation in the spreadsheet, the worksheet must be
Unprotected and the cell unLocked as described hi Section 3.3.

-------
4.8 Field 8: GAC Effluent Water Quality For The 20-Minute EBCT Run (BP3:CW46)
Field 8 is identical to Field 7 except that it is used to report the effluent water quality for
the 20-minute EBCT as a function of operation tune. The spreadsheet calculates the average
operation time (in decimal hours) when the sample was collected as the difference between the
sample collection date/average time and the start date/time. (Note that the start date/time for
the 20-minute EBCT is entered in Field 6.) Field 8 also calculates the bed volumes passed at
the time of sampling, as well as SUVA, SDS-chlorine demand, SDS-THM4, SDS-HAA5 and
SDS-HAA6.
4.9 Field 9: GAC Cost Parameters (CY3.-CZ20)
Field 9 is used to report the utility-specific cost parameters that are used to generate cost
estimates for the use of GAC technology, and an example of Field 9 is shown in Exhibit 4-7.
Example cost parameters are listed in Exhibit 4-7, but it is important to report cost parameters
specific to the utility and not default or example values.

5.0 Spreadsheet For GAC Pilot-Scale Studies
The spreadsheet for pilot-scale GAC studies (gacpilot.xls) is designed to contain the data
from two pilot-scale GAC studies, with each study consisting of a 10- and 20-minute EBCT
run. This spreadsheet consists of three (3) field-sets with seven (7) fields in each set. Each
field-set is located on a separate worksheet, and Table 5-1 summarizes the designation, sheet
titles and cell range for each field-set.
Field-Set Title (Designation)

Table 5-1 Summary Of Pilot-Scale GAC Field-Sets And Corresponding Sheet Titles
The Example Field-Set (Fields E-l to E-7) demonstrates the use of the pilot GAC
spreadsheet. Example data are presented in each field to clarify the use of the spreadsheet and
to verify that the spreadsheet equations are functioning properly. The entire Example Field-
Set is Locked and Protected to prevent data entry on this worksheet. Field-Set 1 is used to
enter the results from the first pilot-scale GAC study, and Field-Set 2 is used to enter the
results from the second pilot-scale study (if a second pilot study is required). Results from
both the 10- and 20-minute empty bed contact times (EBCTs) are entered in the appropriate
fields in each field-set.
The seven fields in each field-set are identified by the field-set designation (i.e., E, 1, or 2)
followed by a field designation (i.e., 1 through 7). For example, Field 1-6 is the sixth field in
Field-Set 1, and Field 2-6 is the sixth field in Field-Set 2. Furthermore, fields with the same
field designation are identical (e.g., Field 1-6 is the same as Field 2-6 except that Field 1-6 is
used to report results from the first pilot GAC study, and Field 2-6 is used to report results
from the second pilot GAC study). The field titles, designations and cell ranges are
summarized in Table 5-2, and the individual fields are described in Sections 5.1 through 5.7.
5.1 Field 1: PWS And Treatment Plant Data (A3.-B30)
Exhibit 5-1 presents an example of Field 1 which is used to enter the Public Water System
(PWS) and treatment plant data, including the PWSID#, plant ICR #, and addresses and phone
numbers of the official and technical ICR contacts. Some of the information in Field 1 is
optional (i.e., the WIDE number and e-mail addresses).

Table 5-2 Summary Of Pilot-Scale GAC Data Fields
5.2 Field 2: Pilot-Scale GAC Design Parameters (D3.-H35)
Exhibit 5-2 presents an example of Field 2 which uses information input by the user to
calculate the design parameters for the pilot-scale GAC study. The following parameters must
be entered in the first block of this field, Input Design Parameters (D4:E13), to calculate the
pilot-scale design parameters:
• Carbon manufacturer, trade name and type.
• An estimate of the average influent TOC concentration to the pilot GAC column hi mg/L.
• The inner diameter of the pilot-scale column (D) in mm.
• The manufacturer reported dry bed density for the pilot column (p) in kg/m3.
• The upper and lower mesh size for the GAC particles used in the pilot column.
• The volumetric flow rate (Q) in L/hr.
In the next block, Estimated Run Length (D15:E17), the number of bed volumes to 50%
TOC breakthrough (BV50) is estimated from the influent TOC concentration. The number of
bed volumes for the run (BVT) is estimated as twice the number of bed volumes for 50% TOC
breakthrough.
The next block, General Pilot Design Parameters (D19:E23), calculates the average
carbon particle diameter (d), the column cross-sectional area (A) and the hydraulic loading rate
or superficial velocity (v). The average carbon particle diameter is calculated from the mesh
sizes entered in the first block and the US Standard Mesh Sizes (G4:H19). If the mesh sizes
used for the pilot-scale GAC study do not appear in this table, it will be necessary to manually
calculate the average particle size of the pilot-scale carbon and enter the value into cell E20,
overwriting the equation in this cell. To overwrite an equation in the spreadsheet, the sheet
must be Unprotected and the cell unLocked as described in Section 3.3.
5-2
-------
The last two blocks in this field, 10-Minute EBCT Run (D25:E29) and 20-Minute EBCT
Run (D31:E35), calculate the specific design parameters for the 10- and 20-minute EBCT runs
including an estimate of the pilot column run time (t), the required carbon bed length (1) and
the dry mass of GAC required for the pilot column (m).
5.3 Field 3: Pretreatment Used Prior To GAC (J3.-L24)
Exhibit 5-3 presents an example of Field 3 which is used to report all pretreatment
processes used prior to the pilot-scale GAC column. All full-scale and pilot-scale pretreatment
processes should be listed in this field. The process name should be entered, along with a
brief description of the process (e.g., chemical dose, settler type, filter media, etc.) and the
scale of the process (i.e., full-scale or pilot-scale). Detailed design information is not required
in this spreadsheet since this design data will be included in the hard-copy Treatment Study
Summary Report described in Section 10.0 of this document. The purpose of Field 3 is to
associate the pretreatment processes used during the pilot-scale GAC study with the data
entered in the spreadsheet.
5.4 Field 4: GAC Influent Water Quality For The 10- and 20-Minute, Pilot-Scale GAC
Contactors (N3:BB55)
Exhibit 5-4 presents an example of Field 4 which is used to report the water quality of the
influent to the 10- and 20-minute pilot-scale columns after the influent has undergone all
pretreatment processes to be used in the study. The influent water quality parameters,
designated as "Group A," include pH, turbidity, alkalinity, temperature, total hardness,
calcium hardness, ammonia, bromide, total organic carbon (TOC), absorbance at ultra-violet
254 nm (UV254), SDS-chlorine demand, SDS-TOX, SDS-THM4 and SDS-HAA61. All
"Group A" water quality parameters must be sampled fifteen (15) times during each pilot-scale
study. Additionally, the "Group A" water quality analyses must be duplicated for three (3)
influent samples, and the duplicate water quality samples are designated as "Group D."
In the first block (N4:BB36), the results from the fifteen water quality analyses are
entered, and ten extra rows are provided so that additional results can be reported if measured.
The second column of the first block of Field 4 is used to designate whether or not a sample
was duplicated. The results of duplicate samples are not entered into the first block of Field 4;
instead the results from the primary and duplicate analyses are entered in the second block of
Field 4 (N38:BB55). This block calculates the average and relative percent difference for the
primary and duplicate analyses. Then the average results from the primary and duplicate
analyses must be entered in the appropriate rows of the first block of Field 4. For example,
Exhibit 5-4 indicates that sample A3 was duplicated, so the results of the primary and
duplicate analyses are entered into the second block of Field 4 where the average and relative
percent difference are calculated. Then the average value (Avg-A3) for the primary (A3) and
duplicate (D-A3) analyses is entered hi the first block. Field 4 also calculates SUVA, SDS-
chlorine demand, SDS-THM4, SDS-HAA5 and SDS-HAA6.
'Only six HAA species are required, but the additional three HAA species (TBAA,
CDBAA and DCBAA) should be reported if measured.
5-3
-------
The date and time at which the pilot study was started must be entered in cells P8:Q8 of
Field 4. This starting date and time are used to calculate the operation time at which samples
were collected throughout the pilot-scale study. The date and tune at which each influent
sample was collected must be entered in the third and fourth columns of Field 4, and the
influent samples should be collected at the same time that the effluent samples from the
20-minute EBCT contactor are collected. The spreadsheet calculates the operation time (hi
decimal hours) when the sample was collected as the difference between the sample collection
date/tune and the start date/time. Note: If the system was shut-down for a significant
period of tune (e.g., more than 12 hours), the spreadsheet will not calculate an accurate
operation time. If this is the case, the operation time must be manually calculated and
entered into the spreadsheet, overwriting the automatic calculation. To overwrite an equation
in the spreadsheet, the sheet must be Unprotected and the cell unLocked as described in
Section 3.3. The number of bed volumes passed at the time of sampling is calculated by
dividing the operation tune by either the 10- or 20-minute EBCT.
5.5 Field 5: GAC Effluent Water Quality For The 10-Minute EBCT Run (BC3.-CL55)
Exhibit 5-5 presents an example of Field 5 which is used to report the effluent water
quality for the 10-minute EBCT pilot-scale column as a function of operation time. The
effluent water quality parameters for the 10-minute EBCT column, designated as "Group B,"
include pH, turbidity, temperature, ammonia, TOC, UV254, SDS-chlorine demand, SDS-TOX,
SDS-THM4 and SDS-HAA6. All "Group B" water quality parameters must be sampled
fifteen (15) times during each study. Additionally, the "Group B" water quality analyses must
be duplicated for three (3) effluent samples, and the duplicate water quality samples are
designated as "Group D."
In the first block (BC4:CL36), the results from the fifteen water quality analyses are
entered, and ten extra rows are provided so that additional results can be reported if measured.
The second column of the first block of Field 5 is used to designate whether or not a sample
was duplicated. The results of duplicate samples are not entered into the first block of Field 5;
instead the results from the primary and duplicate analyses are entered in the second block of
Field 5 (BC38:CL55). This block calculates the average and relative percent difference for the
primary and duplicate samples. Then the average results from the primary and duplicate
analyses must be entered in the appropriate rows of the first block of Field 5. For example,
Exhibit 5-5 indicates that sample B3 was duplicated, so the results of the primary and duplicate
analyses are entered into the second block of Field 5 where the average and relative percent
difference are calculated. The average value (Avg-B3) for the primary (B3) and duplicate (D-
B3) analyses is entered in the first block. Field 5 also calculates SUVA, SDS-chlorine
demand, SDS-THM4, SDS-HAA5 and SDS-HAA6.
The date and time at which the 10-minute pilot run was started must be entered in cells
BE8:BF8 of Field 5. This starting date and time are used to calculate the operation time at
which samples were collected throughout the pilot-scale study. The date and time at which
each effluent sample was collected must be entered in the third and fourth columns of Field 5.
The spreadsheet calculates the operation time (in decimal hours) when the sample was
collected as the difference between the sample collection date/time and the start date/tune.
5-4
-------
Note: If the system was shut-down for a significant period of time (e.g., more than 12
hours), the spreadsheet will not calculate an accurate operation time. If this is the case,
the operation time must be manually calculated and entered into the spreadsheet, overwriting
the automatic calculation. To overwrite an equation in the spreadsheet, the sheet must be
Unprotected and the cell unLocked as described in Section 3.3. The number of bed volumes
passed through the column is calculated by dividing the operation time by the 10-minute
EBCT.
5.6 Field 6: GAC Effluent Water Quality For The 20-Minute EBCT Run (CN3.-DW55)
Field 6 is identical to Field 5 except that it is used to report the effluent water quality for
the 20-minute EBCT as a function of operation time (i.e., the "Group C" water quality
parameters). The spreadsheet calculates the operation time (in decimal hours) when the sample
was collected as the difference between the sample collection date/time and the start date/time.
Field 6 also calculates the bed volumes passed at the time of sampling as well as SUVA, SDS-
chlorine demand, SDS-THM4, SDS-HAA5 and SDS-HAA6.
5.7 Field 7: GAC Cost Parameters (DY3.-DZ20)
Field 7 is used to report the utility-specific cost parameters that are used to generate cost
estimates for the use of GAC technology, and an example of Field 7 is shown in Exhibit 5-6.
Example cost parameters are listed in Exhibit 5-6, but it is important to report cost parameters
specific to the utility and not default or example values.

Table 6-2 Summary Of RBSMT Field-Sets And Corresponding Sheet Titles
Each field-set contains fifteen (15) fields which are identified by the field-set designation
(i.e., E, 1, 2, 3 or 4) followed by a field designation (i.e., 1 through 15). For example, Field
1-6 is the sixth field in Field-Set 1, and Field 4-6 is the sixth field in Field-Set 4.
Furthermore, fields with the same field designation are identical (e.g., Field 1-6 is the same as
Field 4-6 except that Field 1-6 is used to report the first set of quarterly results, and Field 4-6
is used to report the fourth set of quarterly results). The field titles, designations and cell
ranges are summarized in Table 6-3, and the individual fields are described in Sections 6.1
through 6.15.

Table 6-3 Summary Of RBSMT Data Fields
6.1 Field 1: PWS And Treatment Plant Data (A3.-B30)
Exhibit 6-1 presents an example of Field 1 which is used to enter the Public Water System
(PWS) and treatment plant data, including the PWSID#, plant ICR #, and addresses and phone
numbers of the official and technical ICR contacts. Some of the information in Field 1 is
optional (i.e., the WIDE number and e-mail addresses).
6.2 Field 2: Manufacturer Reported Membrane Characteristics (D3:E42)
Exhibit 6-2 presents an example of Field 2 which is used to enter the manufacturer
reported characteristics of the membrane used in the RBSMT study. The first block of cells in
Field 2, General Information (D4:EH), is used to report information including the membrane
manufacturer, trade name, molecular weight cutoff, etc. The second block, Design
Parameters (D13:E23), is used to enter values for the parameters that will be used in the
design of the RBSMT studies, and all of the information in this block must be entered
including:
6-2
-------
• The design flux (Fw) in gfd.
• The net driving pressure (NDP) at this design flux in psi.
• The water mass transfer coefficient, or water flux per unit of net driving pressure (MTCW)
in gfd/psi. (If the MTCW is not explicitly reported by the manufacturer, it can be
calculated by dividing the design flux by the net driving pressure at this design flux.)
• The temperature (T°C) at which the design flux or MTCW was measured in °C.
• The active membrane area of an equivalent 8" x 40" membrane element in ft2.
• The purchase price of an equivalent 8" x 40" membrane element in $.
• The maximum (Qi>max) and minimum (QI>min) allowable flow rates to an 8" x 40" element
in gpm.
• The total width of all membrane envelopes in the 8" x 40" element (w) in ft (i.e., this is
the width of the feed flow channel in the membrane element).
• The thickness of the feed spacer used in the 8" x 40" element (T) in ft (i.e., this is the
thickness of the feed flow channel in the membrane element). This feed spacer thickness
should be identical to the thickness of the feed spacer used in the RBSMT cell.
The third block in this field (D25:E42) is used to enter additional information reported by
the manufacturer such as the required feed flow to permeate flow rate ratio, the maximum
element recovery, and any other information that could be used during the design of the
RBSMT study.
6.3 Field 3: RBSMT Design Parameters (G3:O20)
Exhibit 6-3 presents an example of Field 3 which defines the experimental matrix for the
RBSMT study. In addition to the design parameters entered in Field 2, the following design
parameters must be entered in the first block of Field 3, Input Design Parameters (G4:M10)
to calculate the RBSMT experimental design:
• The active area of membrane in the bench-scale cell (i.e., the membrane area in contact
with feed water) in ft2.
• The active width of membrane area in the bench-scale cell (i.e., the width of membrane in
contact with feed water) in ft.
• The average yearly temperature of the feed water entering the full-scale plant in °C.
• The approximate feed water TDS in mg/L.
• The manufacturer reported TDS rejection expressed as a decimal fraction.
• The spreadsheet calculates the value of the MTCW normalized to the average yearly water
temperature in cell M10 of this block.
In the next block, Experimental Design (G12:O20), the user enters the design flux, and
the spreadsheet calculates the RBSMT operating parameters. The osmotic pressure gradient is
estimated from the feed water TDS and TDS rejection. The required influent pressure is
calculated along with the influent, permeate, feed and concentrate-waste flow rates. These
flow rates and pressures are intended to provide a starting point for the simulation, and the
concentrate-waste flow rate and influent pressure may need to be adjusted during the course of
the run to obtain the desired recovery and permeate flux.
6-3
-------
6.4 Field 4: Foulants And Fouling Indices (Q3:R29)
Exhibit 6-4 shows an example of Field 4 which is used to report the concentrations of
various foulants and the values of fouling indices for the feed water prior to pretreatment.
Numerous water quality parameters that could constitute a fouling problem are included here,
however only those parameters relevant to the water being tested need to be evaluated.
Foulants and indices not listed in this field, but which are evaluated as part of the study,
should be reported in the blank rows. The information in this field should be used to select
appropriate pretreatment to membrane separations in order to minimize fouling.
6.5 Field 5: Pretreatment Used Prior To Membranes (T3:V24)
Field 5 is used to report all pretreatment processes used prior to the RBSMT test system,
and Exhibit 6-5 presents an example of Field 5. All full-scale, pilot-scale and bench-scale
pretreatment processes should be listed in this field. The process name should be entered,
along with a brief description of the process (e.g., chemical dose, cartridge filter exclusion
size, etc.) and the scale of the process (i.e., full-scale, pilot-scale or bench-scale). Detailed
design information is not required in this spreadsheet since this design data will be included in
the hard-copy Treatment Study Summary Report as described in Section 10.0 of this document.
The purpose of Field 5 is to associate the pretreatment processes used during the RBSMT
study with the data entered in the spreadsheet.
6.6 Field 6: Feed Water Quality After Pretreatment (X3.-AC46)
Field 6 is used to report the water quality of the pretreated feed to the RBSMT system, and
Exhibit 6-6 presents an example of Field 6. The feed water quality parameters include pH,
temperature, alkalinity, total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness, calcium hardness,
turbidity, ammonia, total organic carbon (TOC), absorbance at ultra-violet 254 nm (UV254),
bromide, SDS-chlorine demand, SDS-TOX, SDS-THM4 and SDS-HAA61. All feed water
quality parameters must be sampled two (2) times for each batch of pretreated feed water, and
the results of primary (CF-1) and duplicate (CF-2) analyses are entered into the third and fourth
columns of Field 6. The spreadsheet calculates the average and relative percent difference for
the primary and duplicate analyses. The spreadsheet also calculates the SDS-chlorine demand,
SDS-THM4, SDS-HAA5 and SDS-HAA6.
A single batch of pretreated feed water must be large enough to conduct one set of
quarterly studies on at least one membrane. It is advantageous to prepare a single batch of
pretreated feed water large enough to run quarterly studies on two membranes since this will
halve the feed water sampling requirements and facilitate comparison between the two
membranes. If the same batch of feed water is used to test both membranes, simply enter the
same results from the feed water analysis into Field 6 of the two spreadsheet files rbsmtl.xls
and rbsmt-2.xls.
'Only six HAA species are required, but the additional three HAA species (TBAA,
CDBAA and DCBAA) should be reported if measured.
6-4
-------
The date and time at which each feed water sample is collected, along with the operation
time expressed in decimal hours, must be entered in Field 6. The operation time is defined
with respect to the start date and time of RBSMT operation with the pretreated feed water.
Any period of time during which system operation is interrupted must not be included in the
cumulative operation time.
6.7 Field 7: Membrane Setting Data (AE3:AY46)
Exhibit 6-7 shows an example of Field 7 which is used to report the parameters monitored
during setting. Setting is a period during which the membrane is operated with either
laboratory-clean water or a salt solution in order to obtain a stable clean-water flux. (More
information on membrane setting can be found in the ICR Manual for Bench- and Pilot-Scale
Treatment Studies.)
At the top of this field, the average TDS rejection for the membrane being tested and the
TDS concentration of the setting solution must be entered in cells A/5 and AP5, respectively.
These values are used to estimate the osmotic pressure gradient during operation with the
setting solution. If only deionized water is used during setting, the TDS concentration will be
very low and the osmotic pressure negligible; however, if a salt solution is being used to set
the membrane, the TDS concentration can be very high and the osmotic pressure significant. .
In this field, the date, time, and setting time must be reported. The setting time is reported
in decimal hours and is defined with respect to the starting date and time of RBSMT operation
with the setting solution. Any period of time during which system operation is interrupted
must not be included in the cumulative setting time. During setting, the influent temperature,
pressure and flow rate are monitored along with the concentrate pressure and the permeate and
concentrate-waste flow rates. It is important to enter all measured parameters in the
specified units: temperature in °C, pressure in psi and flow rate in mL/min.
The spreadsheet uses these entered values to calculate operating parameters such as the feed
flow rate, cross-flow velocity, recovery, water flux, temperature normalized water flux, net
driving pressure and water mass transfer coefficient. The temperature normalized water flux is
calculated using a generic temperature correction equation (see Equation 6a.l3 in Appendix
6a). If a membrane specific temperature correction equation is provided by the manufacturer,
it should be used instead of Equation 6a. 13. To use a different temperature correction
equation, overwrite the existing equation in cells AS9:AS46 and BP9:BP99, making sure that
the revised equation references the proper cells. To overwrite an equation in the spreadsheet,
the sheet must be Unprotected, and the cells containing the equation must be unLocked as
described in Section 3.3.
6.8 Field 8: Membrane Performance Data During Operation With The Test Water
(BA3.-CW99)
Field 8 is used to report the parameters monitored during operation with the pretreated test
water, and an example of Field 8 is shown in Exhibit 6-8. At the top of this field, the running
average of the bulk TDS rejection is automatically calculated in cell BE5. This average bulk
TDS rejection is used to estimate the osmotic pressure gradient during operation with the
6-5
-------
pretreated test water.
Field 8 is similar to Field 7 in that various parameters are entered and used to calculate
operating parameters such as the feed flow rate, cross-flow velocity, recovery, flux,
temperature normalized flux, net driving pressure and water mass transfer coefficient. In
Field 8, the operation time is reported in decimal hours and is set at 0.00 at the start of
operation with the pretreated test water; thus, the setting time is not included in the cumulative
operation time. Additionally, any period of time during which system operation is interrupted
(e.g., during a cleaning event) must not be included in the cumulative operation time.
Membrane cleaning events should be indicated with an "X" in column BJ of Field 8.
The temperature normalized flux is calculated using a generic temperature correction
equation (see Equation 6a. 13 in Appendix 6a). If a membrane specific temperature correction
equation is provided by the manufacturer, it should be used instead of Equation 6a. 13. To use
a different temperature correction equation, overwrite the existing equation in cells AS9:AS46
and BP9:BP99, making sure that the revised equation references the proper cells. To
overwrite an equation in the spreadsheet, the sheet must be Unprotected, and the cells
containing the equation must be unLocked as described in Section 3.3.
Field 8 is also used to report the feed, permeate and concentrate water quality parameters
that are monitored with time: pH, TDS and UV254 (and TOC if measured). Since these water
quality parameters do not need to be monitored every time a flow rate measurement is taken,
some cells will be left empty. For those times at which a permeate sample is collected, the
feed rejection (RF), calculated concentrate concentration (Cc(calc)), bulk concentration (CB) and
bulk rejection (RB) are calculated for TDS, UV254 and TOC. For sampling events when both
permeate and concentrate water quality parameters are analyzed, the mass balance closure
error (ErrorMB) is also calculated.
6.9 Field 9: Permeate And Concentrate Water Quality For Run 1 (CY3.-DJ50)
Field 9 is used to report the permeate and concentrate water quality for the first RBSMT
run, and an example of Field 9 is shown in Exhibit 6-9. The date, time and operation time at
which each permeate and concentrate sample is collected must be entered in Field 9. The
following water quality parameters are to be analyzed and reported for permeate samples: pH,
temperature, alkalinity, TDS, total hardness, calcium hardness, turbidity, ammonia, TOC,
UV254, bromide, SOS-chlorine demand, SDS-TOX, SDS-THM4 and SDS-HAA6.
Additionally, water quality analyses must be duplicated for the permeate sample from the first
RBSMT run. The spreadsheet will calculate the average concentration and relative percent
difference for the primary and duplicate permeate concentrations entered in Field 9.
The following concentrate water quality parameters must be reported in Field 9: pH,
temperature, alkalinity, TDS, total hardness, calcium hardness, turbidity, ammonia, TOC and
UV254. The spreadsheet will automatically calculate the mass balance closure error for these
water quality parameters with the exceptions of pH and temperature.
The spreadsheet also calculates the concentrate concentration, feed rejection, bulk
6-6
-------
concentration and bulk rejection, as well as the SDS-chlorine demand, SDS-THM4, SDS-
HAA5 and SDS-HAA6.
In order to calculate the mass balance closure error, bulk concentration, and bulk rejection,
the following operating parameters must be entered in cells DA5.-DA7 of Field 9: the recovery,
feed flow rate and influent flow rate. These operating parameters must reflect average system
operation during the period over which the permeate and concentrate samples are collected.
The recovery must be expressed as a decimal fraction and the flow rates must be expressed in
mL/min.
6.10 Field 10: Permeate And Concentrate Water Quality For Run 2 (DL3.-DT50)
Field 10 is used to report the permeate and concentrate water quality for the second
RBSMT run under the second set of operating conditions, and an example of Field 10 is shown
in Exhibit 6-10. Field 10 is identical to Field 9 except that Field 10 does not have columns for
results from duplicate permeate analyses or the average and relative percent difference.
6.11 Field 11: Permeate And Concentrate Water Quality For Run 3 (DV3:ED50)
Field 11 is identical to Field 10 except that it is used to report the permeate and concentrate
water quality for the third RBSMT run under the third set of operating conditions.
6.12 Field 12: Permeate And Concentrate Water Quality For Run 4 (EF3:EN50)
Field 12 is identical to Field 10 except that it is used to report the permeate and concentrate
water quality for the fourth RBSMT run under the fourth set of operating conditions.
6.13 Field 13: Blending Calculations For Stage 1 D-DBP MCLs (EP3.-ET65)
Exhibit 6-11 is an example of Field 13 which calculates the permeate flow to total product
flow ratio (i.e., blend ratio) that can meet the Stage 1 D-DBP MCLs with a 10% factor of
safety (i.e., 72 and 54 ng/L for THM4 and HAAS, respectively). No input is required in this
field, however the output must be interpreted. In the first block of this field, Feed and
Permeate Water Quality Parameters (EP4:ET26), the feed and permeate concentrations from
each run are automatically copied into the appropriate cells of Field 13. The second block,
Blended Water Quality If THM4 Controls the Blend Ratio (EP28:ET39), calculates the
permeate to total product flow ratio (QP/QT) when 90% of the Stage 1 THM4 MCL (72 |ig/L)
controls the blend ratio. The third block, Blended Water Quality If HAAS Controls the Blend
Ratio (EP42.-ET53), calculates this blend ratio when 90% of the Stage 1 HAAS MCL (54
|ig/L) controls the blend ratio. The second and third blocks then use the blend ratio to
calculate the water quality of the feed/permeate blend. Blended water qualities are indicated
by the subscript "b" and are calculated for SDS-THM4, SDS-HAA5, SDS-TOX, SDS-CD,
TOC, UV254, bromide, alkalinity, total hardness and calcium hardness.
In some cases, the blending calculations are meaningless. If the permeate concentration
does not meet 90% of the DBF MCL prior to blending, then the blend ratio will be greater
than 100% indicating that blending is not feasible. If the feed concentration meets 90% of the
DBF MCL prior to blending then nanofiltration is not required to meet the MCL and the blend
ratio will be negative. In both of these cases, the spreadsheet will report "NA" for the
6-7
-------
blended water quality parameters since the calculated values have no physical significance.
When the blending calculations are relevant, the user must compare the blend ratios
calculated for THM4 and HAAS since the higher blend ratio is the minimum ratio that will
meet both MCLs with a 10% factor of safety. For example, in Exhibit 6-11, for runs 3 and 4
the THM4 MCL controls the blend ratio; while the blending calculations are meaningless for
runs 1 and 2 since the permeate THM4 concentration exceeds 90% of the Stage 1 MCL in both
cases.
6.14 Field 14: Blending Calculations For Proposed Stage 2 D-DBP MCLs (EV3:EZ65)
Field 14 is identical to Field 13 except that Field 14 calculates the permeate flow to total
product flow ratio that can be used to meet the proposed Stage 2 D-DBP MCLs with a 10%
factor of safety (i.e., 36,and 27 (ig/L for THM4 and HAAS, respectively).
6.15 Field 15: Membrane Cost Parameters (FB3.-FC20)
Field 15 is used to report the utility-specific cost parameters that are used to generate cost
estimates for the use of membrane technology, and an example of Field 15 is shown in Exhibit
6-12. Example cost parameters are listed in Exhibit 6-12, but it is important to report cost
parameters specific to the utility and not default or example values.

Notes:
This spreadsheet uses the feed and permeate water quality parameters copied to the first block to
determine the percentage of total flow that must be treated by the membrane process to meet the
Stage 1 DBF MCLs.
A 10% factor of safety has been applied all the MCLs. i.e., 72 / 54 |ig/L for THM4 and HAA5
Since either THM4 or HAAS can control the allowable blend ratio, the blend ratio is calculated for
both parameters and the maximum (Qp/QT) ratio controls the design
Qp/QT (THM4) is the permeate to total flow ratio for the case where THM4 controls the blend ratio
Qp/QT (HAAS) is the permeate to total flow ratio for the case where HAAS controls the blend ratio.
The subscript "b" refers to the blended water quality for a given blend ratio
If the permeate quality does not meet the MCL, then the calculations are meaningless for that MCL
If the feed water quality meets the MCL, then a negative ratio will be calculated for that MCL.

7.0 Spreadsheets For Membrane SEBST Bench-Scale Studies
The SEBST spreadsheets are included in two files, and each file is designed to contain all
of the data from four quarterly SEBST studies evaluating one membrane. As summarized in
Table 7-1, files sebst-l.xls and sebst-2.xls are used to report the results from the evaluation of
the first and second membranes, respectively.
File name
sebst-l.xls
sebst-2.xls
Description
SEBST spreadsheet file used to report results for 1st membrane
SEBST spreadsheet file used to report results for 2nd membrane
Table 7-1 Summary Of SEBST Spreadsheet Files
File sebst-l.xls contains five (5) field-sets, while sebst-2.xls contains four (4) field-sets.
Each field-set is located on a separate worksheet, and Table 7-2 summarizes the designation,
sheet title and cell range for each field-set. Each field-set is designed to contain the data from
one quarterly SEBST study evaluating one membrane. The extra field-set in sebst-l.xls is an
Example Field-Set which demonstrates the use of the SEBST spreadsheets. Example data are
presented in each field to clarify the use of these spreadsheets and to verify that the spreadsheet
equations are functioning properly. Field-Sets 1 through 4 are used to report the results from
the four quarterly SEBST studies.

Table 7-2 Summary Of SEBST Field-Sets And Corresponding Sheet Titles
Each field-set contains twelve (12) fields which are identified by the field-set designation
(i.e., E, 1, 2, 3 or 4) followed by a field designation (i.e., 1 through 12). For example, Field
1-6 is the sixth field hi Field-Set 1, and Field 4-6 is the sixth field in Field-Set 4.
Furthermore, fields with the same field designation are identical (e.g., Field 1-6 is the same as
Field 4-6 except that Field 1-6 is used to report the first set of quarterly results, and Field 4-6
is used to report the fourth set of quarterly results). The field titles, designations and cell
ranges are summarized in Table 7-3, and the individual fields are described in Sections 7.1

Table 7-3 Summary Of SEBST Data Fields
7.1 Field 1: PWS And Treatment Plant Data (A3.-B30)
Exhibit 7-1 presents an example of Field 1 which is used to enter the Public Water System
(PWS) and treatment plant data, including the PWSID#, plant ICR #, and addresses and phone
numbers of the official and technical ICR contacts. Some of the information hi Field 1 is
optional (i.e., the WIDE number and e-mail addresses).
7.2 Field 2: Manufacturer Reported Membrane Characteristics (D3:E45)
Exhibit 7-2 presents an example of Field 2 which is used to enter the manufacturer
reported characteristics of the membrane used in the SEBST study. The first block of cells in
Field 2, General Information (D4:E12), is used to enter information including the membrane
manufacturer, trade name, membrane element model number, molecular weight cutoff, etc.
The second block, Design Parameters (D14:E26), is used to enter values for the parameters
that will be used in the design of the SEBST study, and all of the information in this block
must be entered including:
7-2
-------
•
The size of the element used during the study, such as a 2.5" by 40" element or a 4" by
40" element. (The minimum element size that can be used is a 2.5" x 40".)
The active membrane area of the element used (A) in ft2.
The design flux (Fw) in gfd.
The net driving pressure (NDP) at this design flux in psi.
The water mass transfer coefficient, or water flux per unit of net driving pressure (MTCW)
in gfd/psi. (If the MTCW is not explicitly reported by the manufacturer, it can be
calculated by dividing the design flux by the net driving pressure at this design flux.)
The temperature (T°C) at which the design flux or MTCW was measured in °C.
• The maximum (Q^ ^ and minimum (Ch ^ allowable flow rates to the element used in
the study in gpm.
• The total width of all membrane envelopes in the element used in the study (w) in ft (i.e.,
this is the width of the feed flow channel in the membrane element).
• The thickness of the feed spacer in the element used in the study (T) in ft (i.e., this is the
thickness of the feed flow channel in the membrane element).
• The active membrane area of an equivalent 8" x 40" membrane element in ft2.
• The purchase price of an equivalent 8" x 40" membrane element in $.
The third block in this field (D28:E43) is used to enter additional information reported by
the manufacturer such as the required feed flow to permeate flow rate ratio, the maximum
element recovery, and other information that could be used during the design of the SEBST
study.
7.3 Field 3: SEBST Design Parameters (G3:H35)
Exhibit 7-3 presents an example of Field 3 which uses information entered in Field 2, as
well as design parameters entered in Field 3, to calculate the operating parameters for the
SEBST studies.
In the first block of this field, Calculate Temperature Normalized MTCW (G4:H6), the
user must enter the average yearly water temperature of the feed water at the plant in °C, and
the spreadsheet will calculated the MTCW normalized to this average yearly water temperature.
In the second block, Calculate System Flow Rates (G8:H22), the user must enter the design
recovery as a decimal fraction (i.e., this should be 0.75 according to the requirements in the
ICR Manual for Bench- and Pilot- Scale Treatment Studies). The spreadsheet calculates the
following flow rates in gallons per minute:

• The feed flow rate (QF) in gpm.
• The concentrate-waste flow rate (Qw) in gpm.
• The minimum required influent flow rate to the element (Qj ^ in gpm.
• The maximum allowable influent flow rate to the element (QT ^J in gpm.
The user must then enter the design influent flow rate (QO, which must be in the range
established by the minimum and maximum influent flow rates. The spreadsheet will then use
this information to calculate the required recycle flow rate (QR) and recycle ratio (r).
7-3
-------
In the third block of this field, Estimate the Osmotic Pressure Gradient (G24.-H30), the
user must enter the TDS rejection (RejTOS) of the membrane being investigated along with the
approximate TDS concentration of the feed to the membrane system (TDSF). The TDS
rejection can either be obtained from the manufacturer or measured directly, but the TDS
rejection should be evaluated at a low recovery (i.e., < 30%) to approximate the bulk
rejection. The spreadsheet uses the entered TDS rejection and feed TDS concentration to
calculate the waste, permeate and influent TDS concentrations which are used to estimate the
osmotic pressure gradient (ATI).
The fourth block of this field, Estimate the Required Influent Pressure (G32:H35),
requires that the user enter an estimate of the system pressure losses (APloss) and the desired
permeate stream pressure (Pp). The spreadsheet will then calculate the required influent
pressure (P^ based on the osmotic pressure gradient, the design flux, the water mass transfer
coefficient, the estimated system pressure losses and the design permeate pressure.
The flow rates and pressures calculated in this field are intended to provide a starting point
for the SEBST study, and the concentrate-waste flow rate and influent pressure may need to be
adjusted during the course of the run to obtain the desired recovery and permeate flux.
7.4 Field 4: Foulants And Fouling Indices (J3.-K29)
Exhibit 7-4 shows an example of Field 4 which is used to report the concentrations of
various foulants and the values of fouling indices for the feed water prior to pretreatment.
Numerous water quality parameters that could constitute a fouling problem are included here,
however only those parameters relevant to the water being tested need to be evaluated.
Foulants and indices not listed in this field, but which are evaluated as part of the study,
should be reported in the blank rows. The information in this field should be used to select
appropriate pretreatment to membrane separations in order to minimize fouling.
7.5 Field 5: Pretreatment Used Prior To Membranes (M3:O24)
Field 5 is used to report all pretreatment processes used prior to the SEBST test system,
and Exhibit 7-5 presents an example of Field 5. All full-scale and pilot-scale pretreatment
processes should be listed in this field. The process name should be entered, along with a
brief description of the process (e.g., chemical dose, cartridge filter exclusion size, etc.) and
the scale of the process (i.e., full-scale or pilot-scale). Detailed design information is not
required in this spreadsheet since this design data will be included in the hard-copy Treatment
Study Summary Report as described in Section 10.0 of this document. The purpose of Field 5
is to associate the pretreatment processes used during the SEBST study with the data entered in
the spreadsheet.
7.6 Field 6: Membrane Performance Data During Operation With The Test Water
(Q3.-BL119)
Field 6 is used to report the parameters monitored during operation with the pretreated test
water, and an example of Field 6 is shown in Exhibit 7-6. In this field, the date, time and
cumulative operation time must be reported. The operation time is reported in decimal hours
and is defined with respect to the starting date and time of SEBST operation with the
7-4
-------
pretreated test water. Any period of time during which system operation is interrupted (e.g.,
during a cleaning event) must not be included in the cumulative operation time. Membrane
cleaning events should be indicated with an "X" in column AA of this field.
The operating parameters that are reported in Field 6 include the influent temperature and
pressure; the concentrate and permeate pressures; and the permeate, concentrate-recycle and
concentrate-waste flow rates. The spreadsheet uses these entered values to calculate operating
parameters such as the feed flow rate, influent flow rate, cross-flow velocity, recovery, flux,
net driving pressure and water mass transfer coefficient. It is important to enter all
measured parameters in the specified units: temperature in °C, pressure in psi and flow
rate in gpm.
The temperature normalized flux is calculated using a generic temperature correction
equation (see Equation 7a. 18 in Appendix 7a). If a membrane specific temperature correction
equation is provided by the manufacturer, it should be used instead of Equation 7a.l8. To use
a different temperature correction equation, overwrite the existing equation in cells
AH7:AH119, making sure that the revised equation references the proper cells. To overwrite
an equation in the spreadsheet, the sheet must be Unprotected, and the cells containing the
equation must be unLocked as described in Section 3.3.
Field 6 is also used to report the feed, permeate and concentrate water quality parameters
that are monitored with time: pH and TDS (and UV254 / TOC if measured). The TDS and pH
must be monitored every time the system flows and pressures are monitored; however, UV254
and/or TOC can be monitored at any desired frequency, if at all. For measured parameters,
the spreadsheet will calculate the feed rejection (RF), the calculated concentrate concentration
(CC(calc)), the bulk concentration (CB) and the bulk rejection (RB). When both permeate and
concentrate water quality parameters are analyzed during the same sampling event, the mass
balance closure error (ErrorMB) is calculated.
7.7 Field 7: Permeate, Feed, Concentrate And Blended Water Quality For Week 1
(BN3.-BW76)
Field 7 is used to report the permeate, feed and concentrate water quality for the first week
of SEBST operation, and an example of Field 7 is shown in Exhibit 7-7. The date, time and
operation time at which each sample was collected must be entered in Field 7. The following
water quality parameters must be analyzed and reported for the permeate and feed samples:
pH, temperature, alkalinity, TDS, total hardness, calcium hardness, turbidity, ammonia, TOC,
UV254, bromide, SDS-chlorine demand, SDS-TOX, SDS-THM4 and SDS-HAA61.
The following concentrate water quality parameters must be reported in Field 7: pH,
temperature, alkalinity, TDS, total hardness, calcium hardness, turbidity, ammonia, TOC and
UV254. The spreadsheet will automatically calculate the mass balance closure error for these
'Only six HAA species are required, but the additional three HAA species (TBAA,
CDBAA and DCBAA) should be reported if measured.
7-5
-------
water quality parameters with the exception of pH and temperature.
The spreadsheet also calculates the concentrate concentration, the feed rejection, the bulk
concentration and the bulk rejection, as well as the SDS-chlorine demand, SDS-THM4, SDS-
HAA5 and SDS-HAA6.
In order to calculate the mass balance closure error, bulk concentration and bulk rejection,
the following operating parameters must be entered hi cells BP5:BP7 of Field 7: the recovery,
feed flow rate and influent flow rate. These operating parameters must reflect operation of the
system during the time at which the permeate and concentrate samples were collected. The
recovery must be expressed as a decimal fraction and the flow rates must be expressed in gpm.
The third block of Field 7, Blending Calculation for D-DBP MCLs (BN52.-BT76),
calculates the permeate flow to total product flow ratio (i.e., blend ratio) that can be used to
meet the Stage 1 and proposed Stage 2 D-DBP MCLs with a 10% factor of safety. The
spreadsheet uses the permeate and feed concentrations entered in the second block of Field 7
(BN9:BW50) to calculate the permeate to total product flow ratio (QP/QT) required to achieve
the D-DBP MCLs with a 10% factor of safety. For Stage 1, 90% of the D-DBP MCLs are 72
|ig/L for THM4 and 54 ng/L for HAAS. For Stage 2, 90% of the D-DBP MCLs are 36 |ag/L
for THM4 and 27 ng/L for HAAS. The blend ratio is used to calculate the water quality of
the feed/permeate blend. Blended water qualities are indicated by the subscript "b" and are
calculated for SDS-THM4, SDS-HAA5, SDS-TOX, SDS-CD, TOC, UV254, bromide,
alkalinity, total hardness and calcium hardness.
In some cases, the blending calculations are meaningless. If the permeate concentration
does not meet 90% of the DBP MCL prior to blending, then the blend ratio will be greater
than 100% indicating that blending is not feasible. If the feed concentration meets 90% of the
DBP MCL prior to blending then nanofiltration is not required to meet the MCL and the blend
ratio will be negative. In both of these cases, the spreadsheet will report "NA" for the
blended water quality parameters since the calculated values have no physical significance.
When the blending calculations are relevant, the user must compare the blend ratios
calculated for THM4 and HAAS since the higher blend ratio is the minimum ratio that will
meet both MCLs with a 10% factor of safety. For example, in Exhibit 7-7 the THM4 MCL
controls the blend ratio for both Stage 1 and Stage 2.
7.8 Field 8: Permeate, Feed, Concentrate And Blended Water Quality For Week 2
(BY3.-CH76)
Field 8 is identical to Field 7 except that it is used to report the permeate, feed and
concentrate water quality for the second week of SEBST operation.
7.9 Field 9: Permeate, Feed, Concentrate And Blended Water Quality For Week 3
(CJ3.-CS76)
Field 9 is identical to Field 7 except that it is used to report the permeate, feed and
concentrate water quality for the third week of SEBST operation.
7-6
-------
7.10 Field 10: Permeate, Feed, Concentrate And Blended Water Quality For Week 4
(CU3.-DD76)
Field 10 is identical to Field 7 except that it is used to report the permeate, feed and
concentrate water quality for the fourth week of SEBST operation.
7.11 Field 11: Duplicate Analysis Of Permeate, Feed, Concentrate And Blended Water
Quality For Week (DF3:DO76)
As shown in Exhibit 7-8, Field 11 is identical to Field 7 with the exception that Field 11 is
used to report the results from duplicate analysis performed on one set of weekly permeate,
feed and concentrate samples. The duplicate analyses can be performed on any set of weekly
SEBST samples.
7.12 Field 12: Membrane Cost Parameters (DQ3:DR20)
Field 12 is used to report the utility-specific cost parameters that are used to generate cost
estimates for the use of membrane technology, and an example of Field 12 is shown in Exhibit
7-9. Example cost parameters are listed in Exhibit 7-9, but it is important to report cost
parameters specific to the utility and not default or example values.

Notes
This field uses the feed and permeate water quality parameters entered above to determine the percen age of total flow that must be
treated by the membrane process to meet the Stage 1 and proposed Stage 2 DBP MCLs
A 1 0% factor of safety has been applied all the MCLs i e , MCLs for Stage 1 are 72 / 54 |ig/L and Stage 2 are 36 / 27 ng/L for THM4 and HAA5
Since either THM4 or HAAS can control the allowable blend ratio, the blend rat o is calculated for both parameters
The maximum (Qp/QT) ratio controls the design.
QP/QT (THM4) is the permeate to total flow ratio for the case where THM4 controls the blend ratio
QP/QT (HAAS) is the permea e to total flow ratio for the case where HAAS contrc s the blend ratio
The subscnpt "b" refers to the blended water quality for a given blend ratio
If the permeate quality does not meet the MCL pnor to blending then these ca culations are meaningless for that MCL
If the feed water quality meets the MCL, then a negative ratio will be calculated for that MCL

Term SEBST study. This spreadsheet consists of six (6) field-sets with thirteen (13) fields in
each field-set. Each field-set is located on a separate worksheet, and Table 8-1 summarizes the
designation, sheet title and cell range for each field-set.

Table 8-1 Summary Of Long-Term SEBST Field-Sets And Corresponding Sheet Titles
The Example Field-Set demonstrates the use of the LT-SEBST spreadsheet. Example data
are presented in each field to clarify the use of these spreadsheets and to verify that the
equations are functioning properly. The entire Example Field-Set is Locked and Erotected to
prevent data entry on this sheet. Each of the Field-Sets 1 through 5, are used to enter the
results from ten weeks of Long-Term SEBST operation. For example, Field-Set 1 is used to
report the results from weeks 1 through 10, Field-Set 2 is used to report the results from
weeks 11 through 20, Field-Set 3 is used to report the results from weeks 21 through 30 etc.
The thirteen fields in each field-set are identified by the field-set designation (i.e., E, 1,2,
3, 4, or 5) followed by a field designation (i.e., 1 through 13). For example, Field 1-6 is the
sixth field in Field-Set 1, and Field 5-6 is the sixth field in Field-Set 5. Furthermore, fields
with the same field designation are identical (e.g., Field 1-6 is the same as Field 5-6 except
that Field 1-6 is used to report results from the first ten weeks of Long-Term SEBST
operation, and Field 5-6 is used to report results from the last ten weeks of Long-Term SEBST
operation). The field titles, designations and cell ranges are summarized in Table 8-2, and the
individual fields are described in Sections 8.1 through 8.13.

Table 8-2 Summary Of Long-Term SEBST Data Fields
8.2 Field 2: Manufacturer Reported Membrane Characteristics (D3:E45)
Exhibit 8-2 presents an example of Field 2 which is used to enter the manufacturer
reported characteristics of the membrane used in the Long-Term SEBST study. The first block
of cells in Field 2, General Information (D4:E12), is used to enter information including the
membrane manufacturer, trade name, membrane element model number, molecular weight
cutoff, etc. The second block, Design Parameters (D14:E26), is used to enter values for the
parameters that will be used in the design of the Long-Term SEBST study, and all of the
information in this block must be entered including:
8-2
-------
• The size of the element used during the study, such as a 2.5" x 40" element or a 4" x 40"
element. (The minimum element size that can be used is a 2.5" x 40".)
• The active membrane area of the element used (A) in ft2.
• The design flux (Fw) in gfd.
• The net driving pressure (NDP) at this design flux in psi.
• The water mass transfer coefficient, or water flux per unit of net driving pressure (MTCW)
in gfd/psi. (If the MTCW is not explicitly reported by the manufacturer, it can be
calculated by dividing the design flux by the net driving pressure at this design flux.)
• The temperature (T°C) at which the design flux or MTCW was measured in °C.
• The maximum (Qx max) and minimum (Qx ^ allowable flow rates to the element used in
the study in gpm.
• The total width of all membrane envelopes in the element used in the study (w) in ft (i.e.,
this is the width of the feed flow channel in the membrane element).
• The thickness of the feed spacer in the element used in the study (T) in ft (i.e., this is the
thickness of the feed flow channel in the membrane element).
• The active membrane area of an equivalent 8" x 40" membrane element in ft2.
• The purchase price of an equivalent 8" x 40" membrane element in $.
The third block in this field (D28:E43) is used to enter additional information reported by
the manufacturer such as the required feed flow to permeate flow rate ratio, the maximum
element recovery, and other information that could be used during the design of the Long-
Term SEBST study.
8.3 Field 3: SEBST Design Parameters (G3.-H35)
Exhibit 8-3 presents an example of Field 3 which uses information entered in Field 2 as
well as design parameters entered in Field 3, to calculate the operating parameters for the
Long-Term SEBST studies.
In the first block of this field, Calculate Temperature Normalized MTCW (G4:H6), the
user must enter the average yearly water temperature of the feed water at the plant in °C, and
the spreadsheet will calculated the MTCW normalized to this average yearly water temperature.
In the second block, Calculate System Flow Rates (G8:H22), the user must enter the design
recovery as a decimal fraction (i.e., this should be 0.75 according to the requirements in the
ICR Manual for Bench- and Pilot- Scale Treatment Studies). The spreadsheet calculates the
following flow rates in gallons per minute:
• The permeate flow rate (Qp) in gpm.
• The feed flow rate (QF) in gpm.
• The concentrate-waste flow rate (Qw) in gpm.
• The minimum required influent flow rate to the element (QlF ^ in gpm.
• The maximum allowable influent low rate to the element (QIt ^J in gpm.
The user must then enter the design influent flow rate (Qj), which must be in the range
established by the minimum and maximum influent flow rates. The spreadsheet will then use
this information to calculate the required recycle flow rate (QR) and recycle ratio (r).
8-3
-------
In the third block in this field, Estimate the Osmotic Pressure Gradient (G24.-H30), the
user must enter the TDS rejection (RejTDS) of the membrane being investigated along with the
approximate TDS concentration of the feed to the membrane system (TDSF). The TDS
rejection can either be obtained from the manufacturer or measured directly, but the TDS
rejection should be evaluated at a low recovery (i.e., < 30%) to approximate the bulk
rejection. The spreadsheet uses the entered TDS rejection and feed TDS concentration to
calculate the waste, permeate and influent TDS concentrations which are used to estimate the
osmotic pressure gradient (ATI).
The fourth block of this field, Estimate the Required Influent Pressure (G32.-H35),
requires the user to estimate the system pressure losses (APloss) and enter the desired permeate
stream pressure (Pp). The spreadsheet will then estimate the required influent pressure (P^
based on the osmotic pressure gradient, the design flux, the water mass transfer coefficient, the
estimated system pressure losses and the design permeate pressure.
The flow rates and pressures calculated in this field are intended to provide a starting point
for the Long-Term SEBST study, and the concentrate-waste flow rate and influent pressure
may need to be adjusted during the course of the run to obtain the desired recovery and
permeate flux.
8.4 Field 4: Foulants And Fouling Indices (J3:K29)
Exhibit 8-4 shows an example of Field 4 which is used to report the concentrations of
various foulants and the values of fouling indices for the feed water prior to pretreatment.
Numerous water quality parameters that could constitute a fouling problem are included here,
however only those parameters relevant to the water being tested need to be evaluated.
Foulants and indices not listed in this field, but which are evaluated as part of the study,
should be reported in the blank rows. The information in this field should be used to select
appropriate pretreatment to membrane separations in order to minimize fouling.
8.5 Field 5: Pretreatment Used Prior To Membranes (M3:O24)
Field 5 is used to report all pretreatment processes used prior to the SEBST test system,
and Exhibit 8-5 presents an example of Field 5. All full-scale and pilot-scale pretreatment
processes should be listed in this field. The process name should be entered, along with a
brief description of the process (e.g., chemical dose, cartridge filter exclusion size, etc.) and
the scale of the process (i.e., full-scale or pilot-scale). Detailed design information is not
required in this spreadsheet since this design data will be included in the hard-copy Treatment
Study Summary Report as described in Section 10.0 of this document. The purpose of Field 5
is to associate the pretreatment processes used during the Long-Term SEBST study with the
data entered in the spreadsheet.
8.6 Field 6: Membrane Performance Data During Operation With The Test Water
(Q3.-BL220)
Field 6 is used to report the parameters monitored during operation with the pretreated test
water, and an example of Field 6 is shown in Exhibit 8-6.
8-4
-------
Note: Only one-fifth of the operational data from the total run time (i.e., data from
approximately 1320 hours of operation) will be reported in Field 6 of each field-set.
In Field 6, the date, time and cumulative operation time must be reported. The operation
time is reported in decimal hours and is defined with respect to the starting date and time of
Long-Term SEBST operation with the pretreated test water. Any period of tune during which
system operation is interrupted (e.g., during a cleaning event) must not be included in the
cumulative operation time. Membrane cleaning events should be indicated with an "X" in
column AA of this field.
The operating parameters that are reported in Field 6 include the influent temperature and
pressure; the concentrate and permeate pressures; and the permeate, concentrate-recycle and
concentrate-waste flow rates. The spreadsheet uses these entered values to calculate operating
parameters such as the feed flow rate, influent flow rate, cross-flow velocity, recovery, flux,
net driving pressure and water mass transfer coefficient. It is important to enter all
measured parameters in the specified units: temperature in °C, pressure in psi and flow
rate in gpm.
The temperature normalized flux is calculated using a generic temperature correction
equation (see Equation 8a. 18 in Appendix 8a). If a membrane specific temperature correction
equation is provided by the manufacturer, it should be used instead of Equation 8a. 18. To use
a different temperature correction equation, overwrite the existing equation in cells
AH7:AH220, making sure that the revised equation references the proper cells. To overwrite
an equation in the spreadsheet, the sheet must be Unprotected, and the cells containing the
equation must be unLocked as described in Section 3.3.
Field 6 is also used to report the feed, permeate and concentrate water quality parameters
that are monitored with time: pH and TDS (and UV254 / TOC if measured). The TDS and pH
must be monitored every time the system flows and pressures are monitored; however, UV254
and/or TOC can be monitored at any desired frequency, if at all. For measured parameters,
the spreadsheet will calculate the feed rejection (RF), the calculated concentrate concentration
(CC(calc)), the bulk concentration (CB) and the bulk rejection (RB). When both permeate and
concentrate water quality parameters are analyzed for the same sampling event, the mass
balance closure error (ErrorMB) is calculated.
8.7 Fields 7 Through 12: Permeate, Feed, Concentrate And Blended Water Quality
For Week (BN3.-BW76; BY3.-CH76; CJ3.-CS76; CU3:DD76; DF3:DO76;
DQ3.-DZ76)
Fields 7 through 12 are used to report the permeate, feed and concentrate water quality for
every other week of Long-Term SEBST operation, and an example of Field 7 is shown in
Exhibit 8-7. Fields 7 through 12 appear in all five of the LT-SEBST field-sets and are used to
report data from different weeks of Long-Term SEBST operation. Table 8-3 summarizes the
field-set/field designations (i.e. Field 1-7 through Field 5-12) that are used to report the results
from each set of bi-weekly water quality analyses.

reported in the specified field.
Table 8-3 Field Designations For The Bi-Weekly Water Quality Data Reported In Each
LT-SEBST Field-Set
The date, time and operation time at which each sample is collected must be entered in
Field 7. The following water quality parameters are to be analyzed and reported for the
permeate and feed samples: pH, temperature, alkalinity, TDS, total hardness, calcium
hardness, turbidity,-ammonia, TOC, UV254, bromide, SDS-chlorine demand, SDS-TOX, SDS-
THM4 and SDS-HAA61.
The following concentrate water quality parameters must be reported in Field 7: pH,
temperature, alkalinity, TDS, total hardness, calcium hardness, turbidity, ammonia, TOC and
UV254. The spreadsheet will automatically calculate the mass balance closure error for these
water quality parameters with the exception of pH and temperature.
The spreadsheet also calculates the concentrate concentration, the feed rejection, the bulk
concentration and the bulk rejection, as well as the SDS-chlorine demand, SDS-THM4, SDS-
HAA5 and SDS-HAA6.
In order to calculate the mass balance closure error, bulk concentration and bulk rejection,
the following operating parameters must be entered in cells BP5:BP7 of Field 7: the recovery,
feed flow rate and influent flow rate. These operating parameters must reflect operation of the
system during the time at which the permeate and concentrate samples are collected. The
recovery must be expressed as a decimal fraction and the flow rates must be expressed hi gpm.
'Only six HAA species are required, but the additional three HAA species (TBAA,
CDBAA and DCBAA) should be reported if measured.

-------
The third block of Field 7, Blending Calculation for D-DBP MCLs (BN52.-BT76),
calculates the permeate flow to total product flow ratio (i.e., blend ratio) that can be used to
meet the Stage 1 and proposed Stage 2 D-DBP MCLs with a 10% factor of safety. The
spreadsheet uses the permeate and feed concentrations entered hi the second block of Field 7
(BN9:BW50) to calculate the permeate to total product flow ratio (QP/QT) required to achieve
the D-DBP MCLs with a 10% factor of safety. For Stage 1, 90% of the D-DBP MCLs are 72
Hg/L for THM4 and 54 ng/L for HAAS. For Stage 2, 90% of the D-DBP MCLs are 36 ng/L
for THM4 and 27 ng/L for HAAS. The blend ratio is used to calculate the water quality of
the feed/permeate blend. Blended water qualities are indicated by the subscript "b" and are
calculated for SDS-THM4, SDS-HAA5, SDS-TOX, SDS-CD, TOC, UV254, bromide,
alkalinity, total hardness and calcium hardness.
In some cases, the blending calculations are meaningless. If the permeate concentration
does not meet 90% of the DBP MCL prior to blending, then the blend ratio will be greater
than 100% indicating that blending is not feasible. If the feed concentration meets 90% of the
DBP MCL prior to blending then nanofiltration is not required to meet the MCL and the blend
ratio will be negative. In both of these cases, the spreadsheet will report "NA" for the
blended water quality parameters since the calculated values have no physical significance.
When the blending calculations are relevant, the user must compare the blend ratios
calculated for THM4 and HAAS since the higher blend ratio is the minimum ratio that will
meet both MCLs with a 10% factor of safety. For example, in Exhibit 8-7 the THM4 MCL
controls the blend ratio for both Stage 1 and Stage 2.
8.8 Field 13: Membrane Cost Parameters (EB3:EC20)
Field 13 is used to report the utility-specific cost parameters that are used to generate cost
estimates for the use of membrane technology, and an example of Field 13 is shown in Exhibit
8-8. Example cost parameters are listed in Exhibit 8-8, but it is important to report cost
parameters specific to the utility and not default or example values.

Notes
This field uses the feed and permeate water qual ty parameters entered above to determine the percentage of total flow that must be
treated by the membrane process to meet the Stage 1 and proposed Stage 2 DBF MCLs
A 1 0% factor of safety has been applied all the MCLs i e , MCLs for Stage 1 are 72 / 54 ng/L and Stage 2 are 36 / 27 Mg/L for THM4 and HAAS
Since either THM4 or HAAS can control the allowable blend ratio, the blend ratio is calculated for both parameters
The maximum (Qp/QT) ratio controls the design.
QP/QT (THM4) is the permea e to total flow ratio or the case where THM4 controls the blend ratio
OtjQ, ;HAAf'i is t^o permeate to total flow ratio for the rase where HAA5 controls the blend ratio
The subscript "b " refers to the blended water qual ty for a given blend ratio
If the permeate quality does not meet the MCL prior to blending, then these calcu ations are meaningless or that MCL
If the feed water quality meets the MCL, then a negative ratio will be calculated for that MCL

9.0 Spreadsheet For Membrane Pilot-Scale Studies
The pilot-scale membrane spreadsheet (mempilot.xls) is designed to contain the data from
one yearlong pilot membrane study. This spreadsheet consists of six (6) field-sets with
thirteen (13) fields in each field-set. Each field-set is located on a separate worksheet, and
Table 9-1 summarizes the designation, sheet title and cell range for each field-set.

Table 9-1 Summary Of Pilot-Scale Membrane Field-Sets And Corresponding Sheet Titles
The Example Field-Set demonstrates the use of the pilot membrane spreadsheet. Example
data are presented in each field to clarify the use of these spreadsheets and to verify that the
equations are functioning properly. The entire Example Field-Set is Locked and Pjrotected to
prevent data entry on this sheet. Each of the Field-Sets 1 through 5, are used to enter the
results from ten weeks of pilot-scale membrane operation. For example, Field-Set 1 is used to
report the results from weeks 1 through 10, Field-Set 2 is used to report the results from
weeks 11 through 20, Field-Set 3 is used to report the results from weeks 21 through 30 etc.
The thirteen fields in each field-set are identified by the field-set designation (i.e., E, 1,2,
3, 4, or 5) followed by a field designation (i.e., 1 through 13). For example, Field 1-6 is the
sixth field in Field-Set 1, and Field 5-6 is the sixth field in Field-Set 5. Furthermore, fields
with the same field designation are identical (e.g., Field 1-6 is the same as Field 5-6 except
that Field 1-6 is used to report results from the first ten weeks of pilot-scale membrane
operation, and Field 5-6 is used to report results from the last ten weeks of pilot-scale
membrane operation). The field titles, designations and cell ranges are summarized in Table
9-2, and the individual fields are described in Sections 9.1 through 9.13.

-------
• The size of the elements used during the study, such as a 2.5" x 40" element or a 4" x 40"
element. (The minimum element size that can be used is a 2.5" x 40".)
• The active membrane area of a single element used in the study (A) in ft2.
• The design flux (Fw) in gfd.
• The net driving pressure (NDP) at this design flux in psi.
• The water mass transfer coefficient, or water flux per unit of net driving pressure (MTCw)
in gfd/psi. (If the MTCW is not explicitly reported by the manufacturer, it can be
calculated by dividing the design flux by the net driving pressure at this design flux.)
• The temperature (T°C) at which the design flux or MTCW was measured in °C.
• The maximum (QT max) and minimum (QI; mj allowable flow rates to the elements used in
the study in gpm.
• The total width of all membrane envelopes in one of the elements used in the study (w) in
ft (i.e. , this is the width of the feed flow channel in a single membrane element).
• The thickness of the feed spacer in one of the elements used in the study (T) in ft (i.e., this
is the thickness of the feed flow channel in a single membrane element).
• The active membrane area of an equivalent 8" x 40" membrane element in ft2.
• The purchase price of an equivalent 8" x 40" membrane element in $.
The third block in this field (D28:E43) is used to report additional information such as the
required feed flow to permeate flow ratio, the maximum element recovery, and other
information that could be used during the design of the pilot-scale membrane study.
9.3 Field 3: 2-Stage Membrane Pilot System Design Parameters (G3:H68)
Exhibit 9-3 presents an example of Field 3 which uses information entered in Field 2 as
well as additional input design parameters to calculate the operating parameters for a 2-stage
pilot-scale membrane system.
In the first block of this field, Calculate Temperature Normalized MTCW (G4:H6), the
user must enter the average yearly water temperature of the feed water at the plant in °C, and
the spreadsheet will calculated the MTCW normalized to this average yearly water temperature.
In the second block, Calculate System Permeate, Feed and Waste Flow Rates (G8:H20), the
user must enter the design recovery as a decimal fraction (i.e., this should be at least 0.75
according to the requirements in the ICR Manual for Bench- and Pilot- Scale Treatment
Studies), the number of elements per pressure vessel (Ne) and the number of pressure vessels
in each stage (Nv.s(i)). The spreadsheet assumes that all pressure vessels contain the same
number of elements and that all membrane elements are of the same size and type. (If this is
not the case, manual calculations will be necessary to develop the system design.) The
spreadsheet uses this information to calculate the following flow rates in gallons per minute:
The permeate flow rate per element (QpJ in gpm.
The permeate flow rate per pressure vessel (Qp_v) in gpm
The permeate flow rate from each stage (Qp.s(i)) in gpm.
The permeate flow rate from the system (Qp.syS) in gpm.
The feed flow rate to the system (Qp.^) in gpm.
The concentrate-waste flow rate from the system (Qw.^,) in gpm.
9-3
-------
The next block, Calculate the Feed Flow Rate at the End of Each Stage (G22.-H24),
calculates the flow entering the last element in a stage as the difference between the feed flow
entering that stage and the permeate flow produced by the upstream elements in that stage.
The following two blocks, Calculate the Minimum/Maximum Recycle Flow Rate for Each
Stage (G26.-H30 and G32.-H34), calculate the minimum recycle flow rate ((Q^.^)^ and the
maximum recycle flow rate ((QR.^max) that can be applied to each stage based on the
manufacturer specifications and the system configuration. The following block, Select the
Design System Recycle Flow Rate (G36:H43), specifies the minimum recycle flow rate ((QR.
sys)min) and the maximum recycle flow rate ((Qn^),™*) to be applied to the system. The
minimum required recycle flow rate for the system is specified as the largest "minimum
recycle flow rate" for any stage in the system. The maximum allowable recycle flow rate for
the system is specified as the smallest "maximum recycle flow rate" for any stage in the
system. The user must enter a design system recycle flow rate (QR.sys) between the minimum
and maximum system recycle flow rates. Once the design system recycle flow rate is entered
by the user, the spreadsheet calculates the influent flow rate (Qi.sys) to the system (i.e., the sum
of the feed and concentrate-recycle flow rates) and the recycle ratio (r). Note that these
calculations assume concentrate recycle around the system; however, it is permissible to
recycle around individual stages. If individual stage recycle is employed, the stage recycle
flow rate must be within the minimum and maximum values for that stage.
The next block, Summary of Stage and System Flow Rates (G45.-H55), lists all of the
flow rates in the systems that need to be measured directly or calculated. This table can be
used to size the flow meters and pumps used in the pilot system.
The final block in this field, Calculate the Required System Influent Pressure (G57:H68),
requires the user to enter estimates of the following pressure losses:
• The osmotic pressure gradient for each stage (Artj) in psi. (Estimates of the osmotic
pressure gradient for a 2-stage system can be found in Table 6-5 of Part 3 of the ICR
Manual for Bench- and Pilot-Scale Treatment Studies.)
• An estimate of the pressure losses associated with stage hardware (APS) in psi.
• An estimate of the pressure losses through a single membrane element (APe) in psi.
• The design permeate pressure for the system (Pp) in psi.
These estimated pressure losses are used to calculate the mechanical pressure losses in each
stage. The pressure required for permeation is calculated by dividing the design flux by the
water mass transfer coefficient. A flow-weighted pressure loss term is calculated for the
system and the required influent pressure is calculated by summing the flow-weighted pressure
loss, the pressure required for permeation and the design permeate pressure.
The flow rates and pressures calculated in this field are intended to provide design criteria
for the pilot-scale membrane system and a starting point for the operating parameters used in
the study. The waste flow rate and influent pressure may need to be adjusted during the
course of the run to obtain the desired recovery and permeate flux.
9-4
-------
9.4 Field 4: Foulahts And Fouling Indices (J3:K29)
Exhibit 9-4 shows an example of Field 4 which is used to report the concentrations of
various foulants and the values of fouling indices for the feed water prior to pretreatment.
Numerous water quality parameters that could constitute a fouling problem are included here,
however only those parameters relevant to the water being tested need to be evaluated.
Foulants and indices not listed in this field, but which are evaluated as part of the study,
should be reported in the blank rows. The information in this field should be used to select
appropriate pretreatment to membrane separations in order to minimize fouling.
9.5 Field 5: Pretreatment Used Prior To Membranes (M3.-O24)
Field 5 is used to report all pretreatment processes used prior to the pilot membrane
system, and Exhibit 9-5 presents an example of Field 5. All full-scale and pilot-scale
pretreatment processes should be listed in this field. The process name should be entered,
along with a brief description of the process (e.g., chemical dose, cartridge filter exclusion
size, etc.) and the scale of the process (i.e., full-scale or pilot-scale). Detailed design
information is not required in this spreadsheet since this design data will be included in the
hard-copy Treatment Study Summary Report as described in Section 10.0 of this document.
The purpose of Field 5 is to associate the pretreatment processes used during the pilot-scale
membrane study with the data entered in the spreadsheet.
9.6 Field 6: Membrane Performance Data During Operation With The Test Water
(Q3.-CS220)
Field 6 is used to report the parameters monitored during operation with the pretreated test
water, and an example of Field 6 is shown in Exhibit 9-6.
Note: Only one-fifth of the operational data from the total run time (i.e., data from
approximately 1320 hours of operation) will be reported in Field 6 of each field-set.
Field 6 is divided into three blocks: System Operating Parameters (Q3:CS220), Stage 1
Operating Parameters (AW3.-BT220) and Stage 2 Operating Parameters (BV3.-CS220). In the
first block of this field, the date, time and cumulative operation time must be reported for each
monitoring event. A monitoring event includes measurements of both system and stage
operating parameters. The operation time is reported in decimal hours and is defined with
respect to the starting date and time of operation of the pilot membrane system with the
pretreated test water. Any period of time during which system operation is interrupted (e.g.,
during a cleaning event) must not be included in the cumulative operation time. Times at
which the system is cleaned should be indicated with an "X" in column AA of this block.
The system operating parameters that are reported in this block include, the influent
temperature and pressure; the system concentrate and permeate pressures; and the permeate,
concentrate-recycle and concentrate-waste flow rates for the system. The spreadsheet uses
these entered values to calculate operating parameters such as the system feed flow rate,
recovery, flux, temperature normalized flux, net driving pressure and water mass transfer
coefficient. It is important to enter all measured parameters in the specified units:
temperature in °C, pressure in psi and flow rate hi gpm.
9-5
-------
The temperature normalized flux is calculated using a generic temperature correction
equation (see Equation 9a.29 in Appendix 9a). If a membrane specific temperature correction
equation is provided by the manufacturer, it should be used instead of Equation 9a.29. To use
a different temperature correction equation, overwrite the existing equation in cells
AG8:AG220, BG8:BG220 and CF8.-CF220, making sure that the revised equation references
the proper cells. To overwrite an equation in the spreadsheet, the sheet must be Unprotected,
and the cells containing the equation must be unLocked as described in Section 3.3.
The first block of Field 6 is also used to report the feed pH and TDS concentration before
and after acid addition, and the system permeate and concentrate TDS concentrations. The
TDS and pH must be monitored every time the system flows and pressures are monitored. For
TDS, the spreadsheet will calculate the feed rejection (RF), the calculated concentrate
concentration (C^^k)), the bulk concentration (CB), the bulk rejection (RB), and the mass
balance closure error (ErrorMB).
The second and third blocks of Field 6 are used to report the operating parameters
monitored for stages 1 and 2, respectively. These operating parameters include the influent,
concentrate and permeate pressures for each stage, and the permeate and concentrate flow rates
from each stage. Similar to the first block, the second and third blocks calculate operating
parameters such as the feed and influent flow rates to each stage, the stage recovery, the cross-
flow velocity through each stage, the flux, the temperature normalized flux, the net driving
pressure and the water mass transfer coefficient. The temperature normalized flux is
calculated using a generic temperature correction equation (see Equation 9a.29 in Appendix
9a). If a membrane specific temperature correction equation is provided by the manufacturer,
it should be used instead of Equation 9a.29. To use a different temperature correction
equation, overwrite the existing equation in cells AG8:AG220, BG8:BG220 and CF8:CF220,
making sure that the revised equation references the proper cells. To overwrite an equation in
the spreadsheet, the sheet must be Unprotected, and the cells containing the equation must be
unLocked as described in Section 3.3
The second and third block are also used to report the influent and concentrate pH values
for each stage; and the permeate, influent and concentrate TDS concentrations for each stage.
For TDS, the spreadsheet will calculate the feed rejection (RF), the calculated concentrate
concentration (Cc(cak)), the bulk concentration (CB), the bulk rejection (RB), and the mass
balance closure error (ErrorMB).
9.7 Fields 7 Through 12: System And Stage Water Quality For Week
(CU3.-DM76; DO3:EG76; EI3.-FA76; FC3.-FU76; FW3.-GO76; GQ3.-HI76)
Fields 7 through 12 are used to report the permeate, feed and concentrate water quality for
every other week of pilot membrane operation, and an example of Field 7 is shown in Exhibit
9-7. Fields 7 through 12 appear in all five of the pilot membrane field-sets, and are used to
report data from different weeks of pilot operation. Table 9-3 summarizes the field-set/field
designations (i.e., Field 1-7 through Field 5-12) that are used to report the results from each
set of bi-weekly water quality analyses.

Table 9-3 Field Designations For The Bi-Weekly Water Quality Data Reported In Each
Pilot-Scale Membrane Field-Set
The date, time and operation time at which each sample is collected must be entered in
these fields. The following water quality parameters are to be analyzed and reported for the
system permeate and system feed samples: pH, temperature, alkalinity, TDS, total hardness,
calcium hardness, turbidity, ammonia, TOC, UV254, bromide, SDS-chlorine demand, SDS-
TOX, SDS-THM4 and SDS-HAA61.
The following water quality parameters are to be analyzed and reported for the system
concentrate, the permeate from each stage and the influent to each stage: pH, temperature,
alkalinity, TDS, total hardness, calcium hardness, turbidity, TOC and UV254. For both system
and stage measurements, the spreadsheet will automatically calculate the mass balance closure
error for these water quality parameters with the exception of pH and temperature.
The spreadsheet also calculates the concentrate concentration, the feed rejection, the bulk
concentration and the bulk rejection, as well as the SDS-chlorine demand, SDS-THM4, SDS-
HAA5 and SDS-HAA6.
In order to calculate the mass balance closure error, bulk concentration and bulk rejection,
specific operating parameters must be entered hi Field 7. The following system operating
parameters must be entered in cells CX5:CX7 of Field 7: the system recovery, system feed
flow rate and system influent flow rate. The following stage 1 and stage 2 operating
parameters must be entered in cells DI5.-DI7 and DI27:DI29 of Field 7: the stage recovery,
stage permeate flow rate and stage influent flow rate. These operating parameters must reflect
the conditions of the system or stage during the time at which the permeate, feed, influent and
'Only six HAA species are required, but the additional three HAA species (TBAA,
CDBAA and DCBAA) should be reported if measured.
9-7
-------
concentrate samples are collected. The recovery must be expressed as a decimal fraction and
the flow rates must be expressed in gpm.
The block entitled, Blending Calculation for D-DBP MCLs (CU52.-DA76), in Field 7
calculates the permeate flow to total product flow ratio (i.e., blend ratio) that can be used to
meet the Stage 1 and proposed Stage 2 D-DBP MCLs with a 10% factor of safety. The
spreadsheet uses the system permeate and feed concentrations entered in block (CU9:DD50) of
Field 7 to calculate the permeate to total product flow ratio (Qp/Qr) required to achieve the D-
DBP MCLs with a 10% factor of safety. For Stage 1, 90% of the D-DBP MCLs are 72 ng/L
for THM4 and 54 ng/L for HAAS. For Stage 2, 90% of the D-DBP MCLs are 36 ng/L for
THM4 and 27 (ig/L for HAAS. The blend ratio is used to calculate the water quality of the
feed/permeate blend. Blended water qualities are indicated by the subscript "b" and are
calculated for SDS-THM4, SDS-HAA5, SDS-TOX, SDS-CD, TOC, UV254, bromide,
alkalinity, total hardness and calcium hardness.
In some cases, the blending calculations are meaningless. If the permeate concentration
does not meet 90% of the DBF MCL prior to blending, then the blend ratio will be greater
than 100% indicating that blending is not feasible. If the feed concentration meets 90% of the
DBP MCL prior to blending then nanofiltration is not required to meet the MCL and the blend
ratio will be negative. In both of these cases, the spreadsheet will report "NA" for the
blended water quality parameters since the calculated values have no physical significance.
When the blending calculations are relevant, the user must compare the blend ratios
calculated for THM4 and HAAS since the higher blend ratio is the minimum ratio that will
meet both MCLs with a 10% factor of safety. For example, in Exhibit 9-7 the THM4 MCL
controls the blend ratio for both Stage 1 and Stage 2.
9.8 Field 13: Membrane Cost Parameters (HK3.-HL20)
Field 13 is used to report the utility-specific cost parameters that are used to generate cost
estimates for the use of membrane technology, and an example of Field 13 is shown in Exhibit
9-8. Example cost parameters are listed in Exhibit 9-8, but it is important to report cost
parameters specific to the utility and not default or example values.

10.0 Format For The Hard-Copy Treatment Study Summary Report
The purpose of the previously described Data Collection Spreadsheets is to report the
majority of the treatment study data to EPA in an electronic format. However, several
important details of the treatment study cannot be captured in the Data Collection Spreadsheets
such as the study design, design information for the pretreatment processes used during the
study, QA/QC information, etc. The purpose of the Treatment Study Summary Report is to
capture the above mentioned details and succinctly describe them using tabular and
graphical presentations when possible. This section provides guidance on the preparation of
the report. The format presented herein does not need to be followed exactly if another
method of organization or presentation can be used to communicate the same information.
Section 10.1 describes a proposed outline for the Treatment Study Summary Report, and
Sections 10.2 through 10.7 provide guidance on the preparation of each major section of the
proposed outline. When necessary, details specific to a particular type of study (i.e., GAC or
membranes) are discussed.
Questions regarding the format for the Treatment Study Summary Report should be directed
to the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791 or the ICR Treatment Studies Coordinator
at 513-569-7131.
10.1 Outline For The Treatment Study Summary Report
This section presents the preferred outline for the Treatment Study Summary Report. This
report should describe the necessary details as succinctly as possible using tables, graphs and a
minimal amount of text. The preferred outline is as follows:

The remaining six subsections of Section 10.0 provide a detailed description of the
information that is to be included under each main heading of this outline.
10.2 Cover Page
A cover page should be included with each Treatment Study Summary Report, and an
example cover page is shown in Figure 10-1. The cover page should contain the following
information:
• The technology investigated during the study (i.e, GAG or membranes) and the scale of
the study (i.e., full-, pilot- or bench-scale).
• The starting and completion dates for the study.
• The PWS name, PWSID#, mailing address, telephone number and fax number.
• The plant name and plant ICR#.
• The name and address of the organization that prepared the Final Treatment Study
Report (if other than the PWS).
• The date of the Final Treatment Study Report.
• The number of Data Collection Spreadsheet diskettes submitted with the Final
Treatment Study Report.
10.3 Section I: Conclusions And Recommendations
The first section of the Treatment Study Summary Report should briefly describe the main
conclusions drawn from the treatment study, as well as any recommendations regarding the use
of the advanced treatment process to control DBFs. The conclusions and recommendations
should focus on the technical and economic feasibility of implementing the advanced treatment
process investigated during the study to control the concentration of DBPs formed in the
distribution system. Other water quality goals and operational concerns can also be addressed
in this section, such as compliance with other regulations, disposal of residuals, etc.

10.4 Section II: Background Information
The purpose of the Background Section is to provide basic information about the treatment
plant and source/finished water quality as well as a brief description of the treatment
challenges facing the plant. A simple schematic of the existing treatment plant, such as the
example shown in Figure 10-2, should be presented as part of the background information. If
the treatment plant is conducting 18-months of DBF/micro monitoring under the ICR, then a
schematic similar to the one used to develop the initial sampling plan can be submitted.
Alternatively, the plant may use an existing plant schematic or develop a new schematic. The
schematic should indicate all points of chemical addition and washwater return, as well as the
sampling point for the influent to the treatment study.
The Background Section must also include a summary of basic engineering data for each
unit process. If the treatment plant is using the ICR Water Utility Database System (EPA 814-
B-96-004, April 1996) to report the results from the 18-months of DBF/micro monitoring,
then the plant can submit the data from report A.2, Design Plant Parameters, and report A.3,
Design Plant Chemical Parameters. Appendix A of the ICR Sampling Manual (EPA 814-B-
96-001, April, 1996) shows examples of these reports. If the treatment plant is not using the
Water Utility Database System, or does not have access to the specified reports, then a tabular
summary of the engineering and chemical design parameters for each unit process will need to
be generated. An example of a tabular summary of treatment plant design data is presented in
Table 10-1.
A tabular summary of the average source and finished water quality should also be
included in the Background Section. This summary should reflect yearly averages for recent
water quality analyses, In the example shown in Table 10-2, the yearly average, standard
deviation, maximum yearly value and minimum yearly value are shown for the following
source water quality parameters: temperature, pH, turbidity, alkalinity, total hardness, calcium
hardness, TOC, UV254 and bromide. In Table 10-3, the yearly average, standard deviation,
maximum yearly value and minimum yearly value are shown for the following finished water
quality parameters: temperature, pH, turbidity, TOC and distribution system THM4. If
applicable, the results from the 18 months of DBP/micro monitoring can be used to generate
these summary tables. Note that this is not a requirement to conduct additional source or
finished water monitoring, rather it is a request for recent water quality data for
parameters that are routinely monitored at the plant.
10.5 Section III: Materials And Methods
The purpose of the Materials And Methods Section is to describe the pretreatment to the
advanced process, the equipment used for the pilot- or bench-scale study, the experimental
design, and the analytical methods used during the study.

Simple schematics should be provided for all full-scale, pilot-scale and bench-scale
pretreatment processes used prior to the advanced treatment process under investigation (i.e.,
prior to GAC or membranes). An example schematic of a pretreatment system is shown in
Figure 10-3. If multiple pretreatment systems are used, a separate schematic must be supplied
for each pretreatment system. Furthermore, when multiple pretreatment systems are used
during a study, the experimental design should indicate which pretreatment system was used
during different periods of the study. Design information for all of the pretreatment processes
used hi the study should be presented in tabular format similar to that shown hi Table 10-4.
Schematics of the process equipment used to simulate the advanced treatment process
should also be included in this section. An example of a schematic for an RBSMT system is
shown in Figure 10-4. The schematic of the advanced treatment process can also be
incorporated into the pretreatment process schematic to depict the complete system (i.e., the
schematics in Figures 10-3 and 10-4 could be combined).
This section must also describe any procedures or methods specific to the study being
conducted, as well as any deviations from the methods specified in the ICR Manual for Bench-
and Pilot-Scale Treatment Studies. Some examples of these procedures/deviations include:
• The cleaning procedure(s) used during a membrane study.
• The method used to load carbon into a RSSCT column.
• The protocol used to demonstrate no leaching of TOC from a 6 inch PVC GAC column.
• The procedure used to mitigate headless buildup in a RSSCT column.
The Materials And Methods Section should also include a discussion of the experimental
design, including a description of the primary variables investigated during the study and the
^rational behind the study design. Tables 10-5 through 10-9 present simple examples of
experimental designs for different types of treatment studies. Table 10-5 presents an example
experimental design for an RBSMT study in which seasonal variability, permeate water flux
and recovery were investigated for two different membranes. Table 10-6 presents an example
experimental design for a SEBST study in which seasonal variability and two pretreatment
processes were investigated for two different membranes. Table 10-7 presents an example
experimental design for a pilot-scale membrane study in which seasonal variability and two
recoveries were investigated for one membrane. Table 10-8 presents an example experimental
design for a RSSCT study in which seasonal variability and two pretreatment processes were
investigated at two empty bed contact times. Table 10-9 presents an example experimental
design for a pilot-scale GAC study in which seasonal variability was investigated at two empty
bed contact times.
In each of the example experimental designs described above, the requirements of the ICR
have been met. For example, the RBSMT study design lists the four recoveries that must be
investigated and the RSSCT study design lists the two empty bed contact times that must be
evaluated. Additionally, the experimental designs list other variables that were investigated
such as pretreatment processes or permeate fluxes. Finally, the example designs indicate the
number of quarters used to evaluate the impact of seasonal changes in water quality on process
performance.

The Materials And Methods Section should include a list of all of the analytical methods
used during the treatment study, as well as the minimum reporting level (MRL) for each
analyte, as shown in Table 10-10. The ICR specifies that all analyses performed during the
treatment studies be conducted using the methods and QA/QC procedures described in the
DBF/ICR Analytical Methods Manual, and no deviations from these requirements are
permitted with the following exception. It is acceptable to use MRLs lower than those
specified in the DBF Manual if the following criteria are met: the MRL must be equal to or
greater than twice the minimum detection level, and the lab must meet the QC acceptance
criteria for the MRL concentration listed in the DBP/ICR Analytical Methods Manual at the
10-13

lower MRL concentration (e.g., if a laboratory reports an MRL of 0.2 mg/L for TOC, then
the blank must be < 0.1 mg/L, the low-level calibration verification standard concentration
must be 0.2 mg/L, the precision at 0.2 mg/L must be ^ 20% RPD, etc.).
If more than one method or MRL is used for a single analyte or analyte group during the
treatment study (e.g., THMs and HAAs in Table 10-10), the different methods and/or MRLs
must be reported in the tabular summary.

The Materials And Methods Section must include a list of the laboratories involved in the
treatment study and the analyses that each laboratory performed. Table 10-11 presents an
example summary of laboratories involved a study, including the analyses performed by each
laboratory and the period over which these analyses were conducted. In general, it is
preferable to use the same method and laboratory for a specific analysis over the course of the
study; however, there may be cases in which this is not possible. In the example shown in
Table 10-11 the utility's own water quality laboratory performed all of the general water
quality analyses and the UV254 measurements. Commercial Lab B performed all of the TOC
and TOX analyses and the last nine months of THM4 and HAA9 analyses; while Commercial
Lab C performed all of the bromide analyses and the first three months of THM4 and HAA6
analyses. Notice that Commercial Lab B analyzed all nine HA As, while Commercial Lab C
only analyzed six HA As. Also, these two commercial laboratories used different methods and
MRLs for THMs and HA As as shown in Tables 10-10 and 10-11.

In addition to the table summarizing the laboratories involved in conducting the analytical
work in support of the treatment study, the following information must be provided for each
laboratory: the mailing address; the ICR lab ID number (if applicable); and the name, phone
number and fax number of a contact person at the lab.
10.6 Section IV: Results And Discussion
The purpose of the Results And Discussion Section is not to report the detailed data
included in the Data Collection Spreadsheets, but rather to provide information that is critical
to the interpretation of the results reported in the spreadsheets and to succinctly report the key
findings of the study, especially those findings that may not be obvious to an individual
evaluating only the raw data.
10-15
-------
Section 10.6 is divided into three subsections. Subsection 10.6.1 describes key data
elements, common to both GAC and membrane studies, that should be included hi the Results
And Discussion Section. Subsection 10.6.2 describes approaches that can be used to
summarize results from GAC treatment studies; while Subsection 10.6.3 describes the analysis
of results from membrane treatment studies.
10.6.1 General Data Elements
The most important information to be captured in the Results And Discussion Section
includes study observations that cannot be reported in the spreadsheets, as well as factors that
should be considered during the interpretation of the data. A few examples of study
observations or factors are listed here:
• During a pilot-scale membrane study, an acid feed pump failed for a three day period
(4/1/98 to 4/4/98) resulting in calcium carbonate scale formation on the membrane. The
membrane was cleaned with sulfuric acid on 4/4/98 resulting in complete recovery of the
lost flux.
• During a single element membrane study, the membrane was cleaned with a 2% solution of
sodium lauryl sulfate for two hours. At the end of the cleaning cycle, the color of the
cleaning solution changed from clear to a dark green tint.
• During a pilot-scale GAC run, the pilot column was backwashed after 3216 hours of
operation (6/15/98). During backwashing, approximately 5% of the GAC was washed out
of the 10 minute contactor, resulting an actual EBCT of 9.5 minutes during the final 842
hours of the run.
• During a pilot-scale GAC study, the sixth set of influent and effluent (20 minute EBCT)
samples were collected on 4/22/98 during a rain event. The coagulant dose in the full-
scale plant was not properly adjusted, and this resulted in a TOC concentration in the
influent to the GAC column that was approximately 2.5 mg/L higher than the running
average of the influent TOC concentration prior to the rain event.
Since all of the water quality data are included in the Data Collection Spreadsheets, it will
not be necessary to include large tabular summaries of the treatment study data in the
Treatment Study Summary Report; however, a table summarizing the average water quality for
the treatment study influent can be useful. Table 10-12 shows an example of the influent
water quality to a RSSCT for four seasons.
Quarterly bench-scale tests or yearlong pilot studies are required to evaluate the impact of
seasonal variability on process performance. A summary discussion of the impacts of seasonal
variations in source water quality on process performance should be included in the Results
And Discussion Section. Graphs and tables should be used to demonstrate significant seasonal
trends in both influent and effluent water quality.
If seasonal variability is determined to be insignificant, the ICR allows other operating
parameters to be investigated in lieu of seasonal investigations. Any operating parameters
investigated during the study should be reflected in the experimental design hi the Materials
And Methods Section, and the impact of the parameters on process performance should be
summarized in the Results And Discussion Section using graphs, tables and minimal text.

EPA will use the results of the treatment studies, along with site-specific cost factors
reported by the PWS, to estimate both capital and O&M costs for incorporating the advanced
treatment process into the existing plant. EPA's approach will standardize the assumptions and
models used in the cost analysis but will be unable to incorporate certain site-specific factors.
If a PWS conducts it's own cost analysis for the advanced treatment process, EPA requests
that the results, assumptions and approach used in the cost analysis be submitted as part of the
Treatment Study Summary Report. This will allow EPA to. compare the results of the on-site
cost analysis performed by the PWS to the results of the cost analysis performed by EPA.

10.6.2 Data Elements Specific To GAC Reports
Since GAC is an unsteady-state process, the effluent water quality will vary as a function
of operating time. Additionally, for pilot-scale studies, the feed water quality may vary
temporally. One way to present this variable water quality data is to plot the feed and effluent
concentrations as a function of operating time; these plots are referred to as breakthrough
curves. Breakthrough curves can also be constructed by plotting concentration as a function of
bed volume, which is calculated by dividing the operating time by the empty bed contact time.
The water quality parameters for which breakthrough curves are useful include: SDS-THM4
(as well as individual SDS-THM species), SDS-HAA6 (as well as SDS-HAA5 and individual
SDS-HAA species), SDS-TOX, TOC, and UV254. Figure 10-5 shows an example of a TOC
breakthrough curve along with the feed TOC concentration plotted as a function of time.
From the analysis of breakthrough curves for SDS-THM4 and SDS-HAA5, it is possible to
determine the run time (or number of bed volumes) at which the Stage 1 DBF MCLs,
proposed Stage 2 DBF MCLs, or other levels of SDS-DBPs are reached. The example in
Table 10-13 shows the times at which various DBF precursor breakthrough criteria (i.e., the
Stage 1 and proposed Stage 2 MCLs with a 10% factor of safety) were achieved and the
corresponding concentrations of other water quality parameters. The time to reach the
controlling breakthrough criteria for a given regulatory scenario will determine the required
reactivation frequency and thus the cost for the GAC process.

10.6.3 Data Elements Specific To Membrane Reports
Two elements are critical to establish membrane performance: permeate water quality and
membrane productivity. With respect to permeate water quality, membrane processes can be
approximated as steady-state systems; however, permeate water quality can vary with changes
in feed water quality or operating parameters (e.g., recovery). In many cases, the impact of
variable feed water quality can be normalized by using the feed rejection or bulk rejection,
both of which are calculated by the spreadsheets. Changes in permeate water quality resulting
from discrete changes in operating parameters can be summarized by tabulating or plotting
permeate concentrations or rejections as a function of the operating parameter under
investigation. For example, Table 10-14 shows the effect of recovery on the rejection of
various water quality parameters by a nanofiltration membrane.

Rejection For A RBSMT Study
Due to the high rejection capabilities of many nanofiltration membranes, permeate water
quality can be superior to many MCLs or treatment objectives. This may allow feed water to
be blended with permeate water, reducing the membrane area or energy requirements for the
10-20
-------
plant, thus lowering the cost of the membrane facility. The Data Collection Spreadsheets for
all types of membrane studies contain cells that calculate the permeate to total flow ratio (i.e.,
the blend ratio) to achieve the Stage 1 and proposed Stage 2 DBF MCLs with a 10% factor of
safety. Assuming that feed/permeate blending is a feasible option, the blend ratios to achieve
various treatment objectives can be summarized in a tabular format for use in a cost analysis.
The example in Table 10-15 shows the minimum blend ratio that can be used to achieve the
specified treatment objective and the resulting water quality at these blend ratios.

Table 10-15 Example Summary Of Blend Ratios To Achieve Various Finished Water
Qualities For A Nanofiltration Membrane
EPA will use the water quality results contained in the Data Collection Spreadsheets to
analyze the rejection characteristics of the membrane(s) investigated during the study as well as
the water qualities at different blend ratios. Any analysis of the water quality data or
membrane rejection characteristics conducted by the PWS should be submitted as part of the
Treatment Study Summary Report.
Membrane productivity is assessed in terms of the mass transfer coefficient (MTCW) and
the required cleaning interval. The Data Collection Spreadsheets for all types of membrane
studies contain cells that calculate the temperature-normalized mass transfer coefficient
10-21
-------
(MTCwCTavg'C)) for each permeate flow measurement, and these data can be plotted as a
function of operating time as demonstrated in Figure 10-6. During the run, it is likely that the
membrane will need to be periodically cleaned when a predetermined drop in MTC^Tavg'C)
occurs, and these cleaning events are indicated using arrows in Figure 10-6.
The time rate of MTCW decline between two sequential cleaning events (or between the
start of the run and the first cleaning event) can be used to estimate the required cleaning
interval2. Table 10-16 summarizes the average cleaning interval, along with other productivity
information, for different operating conditions during a membrane study.

EPA will use the productivity information contained in the Data Collection Spreadsheets to
generate MTCW decline plots and analyze these plots to determine the required cleaning
interval under various operating conditions. MTCW decline plots and/or an analysis of these
plots generated by the PWS should be submitted as part of the Treatment Study Summary
Report.
10.7 Section V: QA/QC Summary
The ICR requires that all analyses performed during a treatment study be conducted
according to the QA/QC procedures described in the DBP/ICR Analytical Methods Manual. In
addition to these requirements, field duplicates must be collected for all analytes monitored
during the study at the rate specified in the ICR Manual for Bench- and Pilot-Scale Treatment
Studies. The results from field duplicates are reported directly in the Data Collection
2 The method for estimating the cleaning interval from the MTCW decline plot is
presented in Part 3 of the ICR Manual for Bench- and Pilot-Scale Treatment Studies.
10-22
-------
Spreadsheets. In addition to the field duplicate results reported in the Data Collection
Spreadsheets, the Treatment Study Summary Report must contain a QA/QC Summary which
must include:
• The results of all laboratory duplicates.
• The results of all laboratory fortified matrix sample analyses.
• The results of any independent QC checks (e.g., PE samples).
• A summary of the calibration procedures for the DBF, bromide and TOC analyses.
Note: Although only a portion of the QC results are to be reported in the Treatment Study
Summary Report, a complete record of all required QC must be maintained by labs
conducting analyses in support of the ICR treatment studies. In the event of a laboratory
audit by EPA, any or all of the QC data must be furnished in a clear and organized format
upon request.
Table 9.8 of the DBF/ICR Analytical Methods Manual lists the requirements for
performing laboratory duplicates (note that some methods require field duplicates in lieu of
laboratory duplicates). Laboratory duplicates provide an effective means of evaluating
laboratory precision; thus, the QA/QC Summary must include the following information for
each duplicate analysis performed during a treatment study: the results from both the primary
and duplicate analyses; the average concentration and relative percent difference for the
primary and duplicate analyses; the sample collection date and time; and the sample ID as
listed in the Data Collection Spreadsheets. When reporting the results from samples that were
analyzed in duplicate, only the average concentration is entered in the Data Collection
Spreadsheets.
Note: There is no requirement to analyze laboratory duplicates for water quality
parameters such as pH, alkalinity, hardness, etc.; however, analyzing laboratory duplicates
for these water quality parameters at a rate of 5 % will provide useful information on the
precision of these measurements. Any analysis of laboratory duplicates for these water
quality parameters should be reported in the QA/QC Summary.
Tables 9.9 and 9.10 of the DBP/ICR Analytical Methods Manual list the required
frequencies and concentrations for performing laboratory fortified matrix sample analyses.
The following information must be reported in the QA/QC Summary for all fortified matrix
samples analyzed during the treatment study: the concentration of the unfortified sample, the
concentration of the laboratory fortified matrix sample, the fortifying concentration, and the
percent recovery of the fortifying concentration3.
Although not a requirement, it is anticipated that many ICR approved laboratories will be
conducting analyses in support of the ICR treatment studies. ICR approved labs will be

the concentration of the fortified sample and the unfortified sample, divided by the fortifying
concentration. The result is multiplied by 100%.

-------
required to participate in PE studies to maintain ICR approval status. Additionally, both ICR
and non-ICR laboratories may be involved in other PE studies such as the Water Supply (WS)
or Water Pollution (WP) Series PE Studies. If a lab is involved in a PE study for DBPs,
bromide, TOC, UV254 or any of the water quality parameters during the ICR treatment studies,
the results of the PE study should be submitted as part of the QA/QC Summary. The
information that should be reported for all relevant PE samples analyzed during the treatment
studies includes: the organization coordinating the PE study (e.g., U.S. EPA), the measured
concentration of the PE sample, the true value of the PE sample and the percentage of the
measured value relative to the true value.
Laboratories conducting analyses for the ICR treatment studies must use approved methods
and must use calibration procedures consistent with these approved methods. The DBF/ICR
Analytical Methods Manual also requires that the calibration be verified at the frequency
shown hi Table 9.1, and the acceptance criteria for low-, mid-, and high-level calibration
checks are listed in Tables 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4, respectively. (Note, if a lab uses a MRL
concentration lower than the MRL specified in the DBP Manual, then the low-level calibration
check must be performed using a standard at the lower MRL concentration.) Failure to meet
the frequency or calibration verification acceptance criteria listed, in the DBP/ICR Analytical
Methods Manual constitutes a QC failure, and the results from sample analyses associated with
this failure must not be reported with the treatment study results.
The QA/QC Summary should reference, and if necessary briefly describe, the calibration
procedure used for each method along with the frequency and procedure used to verify the
calibration. The individual results for each calibration verification standard should not be
reported in the QA/QC Summary; however, these results must be documented in the
laboratory QC record.

11.0 Submitting The Final Treatment Study Report
The Final Treatment Study Report consists of data reported in the ICR Treatment Study
Data Collection Spreadsheets described in this document, and the hard-copy Treatment Study
Summary Report described in Section 10.0 of this document. This final report is due in its
entirety no later than July 14, 1999, and must include the following elements:
• A hard-copy of the Treatment Study Summary Report.
• One or more 3.5 inch diskettes containing the Treatment Study Summary Report computer
files.
• Hard-copies of all Data Collection Spreadsheet fields containing treatment study data.
• One or more 3.5 inch diskettes containing the appropriate Data Collection Spreadsheets in
which the treatment study data has been saved.
The Treatment Study Summary Report computer files are being requested so that key data
elements can be extracted for use in a comprehensive summary of the ICR treatment study
results. The preferred format for these computer files is described here. Text from the
summary report should be provided in either Microsoft Word or Word Perfect. When
possible, tables should be incorporated into the text (i.e., create either Word or Word Perfect
tables), but it is also acceptable to include tables as Microsoft Excel files. Graphs should be
included as Microsoft Excel or Sigma Plot files. Drawings or other graphics can be provided
hi Microsoft Word, Word Perfect, Freelance, Harvard Graphics or Microsoft Power Point.
The spreadsheets must be submitted hi Excel 5.0 for Windows format. In order to help
EPA track the Data Collection Spreadsheets, the spreadsheet file should be named using the
following format: ICR, followed by the three or four digit plant ICR#, followed by the .xls
extension (e.g., ICR1234.xls). In order to save the spreadsheet files to a standard 1.44 MB
high density diskette, it may be necessary to reduce the file size. This can be accomplished hi
one of two ways. One approach is to delete worksheets in the Data Collection Spreadsheet
which do not contain treatment study data (e.g., example or empty field-sets). If this does not
reduce the file size sufficiently to allow it to be saved to a 1.44 MB diskette, then the file will
need to be compressed. This can be accomplished by "zipping" the file(s) using the PKZIP
software included with the Data Collection Spreadsheets. The procedure for compressing a
file is described in Section 3.5 of this document. The compressed file name should be
identical the to Excel file name, except that the .zip extension should be used instead of .xls.
Note: The PKZIP file included with the ICR Treatment Study Data Collection
Spreadsheets is only licensed for use during submission of results from the ICR Treatment
Studies to EPA. Any other use of this licensed copy of PKZIP is prohibited.
If multiple studies were conducted by the PWS, a Final Treatment Study Report must be
submitted for each study and shall contain all of the elements listed above. Copies of all of
this information, including hard-copies and spreadsheet files, must be saved by the PWS for at
least three years after the final report has been submitted to EPA.
