The following procedure explains the workflow shown in the supplied tutorial video.

Step 1: Access the DFM VodaPure Tool

Open a web browser on your computer and visit:

https://dfm-voda-pure-pro.vercel.app/

The initial interface displays the DEERFOS brand and DFM VodaPure. The video shows users entering preliminary information before proceeding to the main design interface.

If the application requests registration or contact details, complete the fields displayed on the screen. Do not use fabricated information or data from another project without authorization.

Step 2: Enter Company and Project Information

At the beginning of the video, the form displays contact fields such as company name, email address, and telephone number.

Prepare the following information:

  • Company or project organization name.

  • Contact email address.

  • Telephone number.

  • Any additional information requested by the application.

After completing the form, follow the on-screen instructions to continue to the design interface.

For Viet Water customers, using the contact details of the responsible project representative can help organize technical records and facilitate follow-up discussions.

Step 3: Enter Project Details and Wastewater Flow Rate

After entering the main interface, the video shows a section labeled Project and Flow, where users enter information related to the wastewater treatment facility.

For an actual design project, prepare the following data:

Parameter Description
Project name Name of the plant or facility
Wastewater type Description of the wastewater source and characteristics
Design flow rate Wastewater volume to be treated under design conditions
Peak flow rate Data used to evaluate capacity during high-flow periods
Operating hours Actual operating hours per day

Important: Verify the fields and units against the live application interface. Do not enter a daily flow rate into a field that requires an hourly flow rate, or vice versa.

For example, if a plant generates 1,000 m³/day and operates continuously for 24 hours per day, the average flow rate is:

1,000 ÷ 24 = 41.67 m³/hour.

This is only a conversion to average hourly flow. Actual membrane design must also account for hourly fluctuations, peak flow, and system downtime.

Step 4: Select a DEERFOS Membrane Module

The video shows a Module Information section containing a membrane model selection list. Users can open the list to review the module models available in the tool.

When selecting a module, check the following technical specifications:

  • Exact product model.

  • Effective membrane area per module.

  • Membrane structure and material.

  • Manufacturer-recommended design flux.

  • Operating limits and aeration requirements.

  • Membrane cleaning, maintenance, and replacement requirements.

Do not select a module based solely on its model name or membrane area. Modules with similar membrane areas may have different operating conditions and technical requirements.

Viet Water recommendation: Verify the selected model against the official DEERFOS catalogue and technical documentation before finalizing the design.

Step 5: Configure the Membrane System

The video then shows a System Configuration section containing fields related to the number of frames or module groups and the overall system arrangement.

At this stage, review the following items:

  • Planned number of membrane modules.

  • Number of modules per frame or assembly, according to the application's configuration structure.

  • Total number of assemblies required.

  • Available space inside the membrane tank.

  • Clearance for aeration equipment and piping.

  • Access for lifting, cleaning, maintenance, and module replacement.

For an actual project, the number of modules must match the required membrane area and installation configuration. Adequate operating and maintenance space must also be provided rather than simply maximizing the number of modules inside the tank.

Step 6: Run the Calculation

After entering the required information, use the calculation function displayed in the application.

According to the video, the tool proceeds to a calculation results section that presents summary indicators and information related to the membrane configuration.

Review the following items:

  1. Confirm that the input flow rate is correct.

  2. Verify the selected membrane module model.

  3. Check that the membrane area and module quantity are consistent with the configuration.

  4. Confirm that the results are appropriate for the required flow rate.

  5. Review any warnings or operating limitations displayed by the application.

If the results appear unusual, check the units, flow rate, and configuration before running the calculation again.

Step 7: Review the Results and Membrane Layout

After calculation, the video displays a Calculation Results section and information about the MBR membrane arrangement.

Record the relevant results for further technical review, including:

  • Input design flow rate.

  • Membrane module model and membrane area.

  • Total membrane area.

  • Total number of modules and frame configuration.

  • System arrangement parameters provided by the application.

Verify these results against the membrane tank drawings, piping layout, and project operating requirements. A preliminary calculation should not be treated as a complete construction design without review by qualified engineers.

Step 8: Finalize the Design Information and Contact Viet Water

After obtaining the preliminary results, compile the input data and calculation outputs for further technical evaluation.

The design package should include:

  • Project information and design flow rate.

  • Wastewater quality analysis.

  • Proposed membrane model.

  • Total membrane area and module quantity.

  • Tank dimensions and layout drawings, if available.

  • Treated water quality requirements.

  • Operating conditions and maintenance requirements.

Viet Water can receive the project information and discuss equipment requirements and suitable technical options within the company's service scope.

4. Technical Considerations When Using an MBR Membrane Design Tool


DFX_813_820_830 - catalogue_EQVW_page-0001

A design tool can simplify preliminary calculations, but the quality of the final solution still depends on the input data and technical verification.

4.1. Determine the Correct Design Flow Rate

Distinguish between average flow, peak flow, and design flow. If part of the system must be taken offline for maintenance, the design should also consider whether the remaining equipment can meet treatment requirements.

4.2. Evaluate Wastewater Quality

Parameters such as BOD, COD, TSS, nitrogen, phosphorus, pH, and other specific contaminants affect biological treatment, pretreatment requirements, and membrane operating conditions.

Wastewater containing oil and grease, fibers, large solids, or substances that cause membrane fouling may require appropriate pretreatment.

4.3. Verify Membrane Flux

The required membrane area should be calculated based on the design flow rate and a suitable membrane flux, taking into account wastewater characteristics, operating conditions, and manufacturer recommendations.

A single fixed flux should not be applied to every MBR project.

4.4. Evaluate the Complete Treatment System

The MBR membrane is only one component of the treatment process. The design must also consider the biological tank, aeration system, suction pumps, piping, controls, and membrane cleaning procedures.

In particular, achieving nitrogen, phosphorus, and dissolved organic matter targets depends on the biological treatment process and any supplementary treatment stages.

5. Reference Project: Myeonghak General Industrial Complex Wastewater Treatment Plant, South Korea

TOC 105 ppm ≤ 7 ppm
SS 115 ppm ≤ 10 ppm
T-N 34 ppm ≤ 15 ppm
T-P 3.8 ppm ≤ 0.3 ppm

These values represent targets stated in the project document, not independently verified effluent monitoring results. Actual performance depends on the complete treatment process and operating conditions.

5.5. Lessons for MBR Projects in Vietnam


Picture4

The Myeonghak project provides several useful considerations for project owners and system designers.

Optimize installation space: Evaluate total membrane area, module configuration, and maintenance access to select an arrangement suitable for the available footprint.

Design for maintenance: Grouping equipment and enabling partial replacement can improve maintenance planning and operational flexibility.

Design around effluent requirements: The MBR membrane must work with the biological treatment process and appropriate supplementary treatment stages to achieve the required water quality.

The Myeonghak project is presented as a reference for DEERFOS technology application. The supplied document does not establish that Viet Water directly executed the project in South Korea.
