Improved performance of gravity-driven membrane filtration for seawater pretreatment: Implications of membrane module configuration by Tan, Hwee Sin, Hochstrasser, Florian, Wu, Bing, Christen, Tino, Suwarno, Stanislaus Raditya, Liu, Xin, Chong, Tzyy Haur, Burkhardt, Michael, Pronk, Wouter, Fane, Anthony Gordon

“…In this study, a pilot submerged GDM reactor (effective volume of 720 L) was operated over 250 days and the permeate flux stabilized at 18.6 ± 1.4 L/m2h at a hydrostatic pressure of 40 mbar. This flux was higher than those in the lab-scale GDM reactor (16.3 ± 0.2 L/m2h; effective volume of 8.4 L) and in the filtration cell system (2.7 ± 0.6 L/m2h; feed side volume of 0.0046 L) when the same flat sheet membrane was used. …”
