Membrane fouling propensity

The primary objectives of this study were to: Investigate the fouling potential, and characterise the organic components of the membrane foulant layers, of clarified activated sludge and lagoon effluent obtained from the WTP; Investigate the fouling propensities of EOM and AOM derived from a blue-green algal culture as it passed through the growth cycle, ie., for which the cells had not been subject to physical disruption; Determine any difference in the fouling propensity of EOM and AOM and relate it to organic composition.

In this study, however, there is an obvious discrepancy between the fouling resistance calculated from the resistance in the series model and the α value in the supernatant filtration. These observations demonstrated that the fouling propensities of the membrane could be monitored by the transmembrane pressure and the fouling characteristics, include fouling resistance and specific cake resistance in the filtration cell.
