The impact of flux and spacers on biofilm development on reverse osmosis membranes

Biofouling has been traditionally described as biofilm development on the membrane surface and leads to an increase in the required trans-membrane pressure (TMP). This study focuses on the impact of the feed channel spacer on the extent and nature of biofouling on the membrane. Experiments were cond...
