Biofouling in reverse osmosis processes : the roles of flux, crossflow velocity and concentration polarization in biofilm development
Biofilm development in a spacer-filled reverse osmosis membrane channel can influence both trans-membrane pressure (TMP) and channel pressure drop (ΔPCH). While current pretreatment methods are unable to completely tackle the biofouling problem, more insights are required to provide strategies to mi...
