This article describes nanofiltration (NF) or reverse osmosis (RO) testing protocol to meet the Information Collection Rule (ICR) requirements. The paper is divided into sections describing: fouling indices; pretreatment requirements; and membrane filtration as related to the ICR requirements. Surface water plants serving more than 100,000 with a TOC greater than 2.0 mg/L prior to disinfection and groundwater plants serving more than 100,000 and with a TOC greater than 4.0 mg/L in the raw water must investigate membranes or GAC for compliance with the ICR. The intent of this protocol is to provide an understanding of the membrane process and a method of measuring membrane productivity. Water quality is an essential part of the ICR requirements for membranes, but the measurement of water quality is a well defined laboratory task.
