Unpacking compaction: Effect of hydraulic pressure on alginate fouling

High pressure is often considered to be the cause of the high fouling propensity of reverse osmosis (RO) relative to forward osmosis (FO). Several experimental studies have shown that alginate fouling is more susceptible to cleaning in FO than in RO, but the theory that foulant compaction causes thi...
