Understanding single-protein fouling in micro- and ultrafiltration systems via machine-learning-based models by Tanudjaja, Henry Jonathan, Ng, Angie Qi Qi, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Membrane pore size is the most dominant influence on fouling followed by transmembrane pressure (TMP), while membrane configuration (i.e., flat-sheet, hollow fiber, or tubular) is the least dominant. The NN model gives modest predictive capability despite inconsistencies and variabilities of the experimental setups and protocols, which invariably affects the important parameters in the database compiled from past publications. …”
