Membrane Fouling Alleviation by Chemically Enhanced Backwashing in Treating Algae-Containing Surface Water: From Bench-Scale to Full-Scale Application

Ultrafiltration (UF) has been increasingly implemented in drinking water treatment plants; however, algae and their secretions can cause severe membrane fouling and pose great challenges to UF in practice. In this study, a simple and practical chemically enhanced backwashing (CEB) process was develo...
