A mini-review on membrane fouling

Bioresource Technology, 2012
During the last decades, the interest of using membrane technology has emerged in wastewater treatment as well as drinking water and process water production. However, the impediment of the membrane technology is the fouling problem and consequently higher operating and membrane replacement cost.

Ceramic nanocomposite membranes and membrane fouling: A review

Water Research, 2020
Membrane technologies have broad applications in the removal of contaminants from drinking water and wastewater. In recent decades, ceramic membrane has made rapid progress in industrial/municipal wastewater treatment and drinking water treatment owing to their advantageous properties over conventional polymeric membrane. The beneficial characteristics

Membrane fouling in a membrane bioreactor (MBR): Sludge cake formation and fouling characteristics

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 2005
AbstractA submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) with a working volume of 1.4 L and a hollow fiber microfiltration membrane was used to treat a contaminated raw water supply at a short hydraulic retention time (HRT) of ∼1 h. Filtration flux tests were conducted regularly on the membrane to determine various fouling resistances, and confocal laser scanning

Fouling Characteristics of Membrane Filtration in Membrane Bioreactors

Membrane Technology, 2000
Abstract The application of microfiltration and ultrafiltration membranes to waste-water treatment is attracting increasing interest, even though they can be limited by their tendency to foul. This problem is particularly acute in side-stream membrane bioreactors, in which a relatively high flux is employed compared with the submerged membrane ...

Impact of Calcium on the Membrane Fouling in Membrane Bioreactors

Proceedings of the Water Environment Federation, 2007
Abstract Fouling in submerged membrane bioreactors (MBRs) was studied under two calcium levels (280 and 830 mg/L). Two MBRs were operated on a synthetic municipal wastewater at a solids retention time (SRT) of 15 days, a control at an influent calcium level of around 35 mg/L and a test reactor at two influent calcium concentrations of 280 and 830 mg ...

Investigation of membrane fouling

Desalination, 2003
Fouling of ultrafiltration membranes in milk industries is mostly due to precipitation of microorganisms, proteins, fats and minerals on the membrane surfaces. Thus, chemical cleaning of the membranes is essential. In this paper, results obtained from investigations on a polysulfon ultrafiltration membrane fouled by precipitation of milk components ...

Effects of pharmaceuticals on membrane bioreactor: Review on membrane fouling mechanisms and fouling control strategies

Science of The Total Environment, 2022
Pharmaceuticals have become contaminants of emerging concern due to their toxicity towards aquatic life and pseudo persistent nature in the environment. Membrane bioreactor (MBR) is one such technology that has the potential to act as a barrier against the release of pharmaceuticals into the environment. Fouling is the deposition of the constituents of

Membrane Fouling in Desalination

2021
Clean and safe water scarcity due to population growth and industries development is a very important challenge, worldwide. As the demand for clean water increases, policies such as seawater desalination and wastewater reuse have been implemented in some countries.

Fouling in Membrane Bioreactors

2016
Membrane fouling is a stubborn problem in all membrane filtration processes, in particular membrane bioreactors because it leads to higher operating pressure, more frequent chemical cleaning, shortened membrane life and compromised product water quality. This chapter presents an exhaustive overview of membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors.
