A review of factors affecting filter cake properties in dead-end microfiltration of microbial suspensions

Aerobic Membrane Bioreactor for Wastewater Treatment – Performance Under Substrate-Limited Conditions

“…While the membrane fouling has been studied and mathematically modelled in classic filtration regimes (crossflow and dead-end) (e.g. Foley, 2006), the effect of turbulence induced by gas sparging in iMBR systems is still being assessed (Drews, 2010). As is well known, it has a clear contribution to minimizing the fouling problem, and therefore, a deeper understanding is extremely important in order to optimise aeration mode and rate, which has been proved to be one of its major operational costs.…”

Removal of bacteria and yeast in water and beer by nylon nanofibrous membranes

“…Generally, when a beverage is filtered through a porous membrane, solid particles accumulates on the filter as a cake, whereas the fluid being filtered with a flow rate inversely proportional to the filter resistance (Foley, 2006;Mahdi & Holdich, 2013). This filter resistance increases with the formation of cells cake on the filter media with different morphologies in the filtration process (Ben Hassan, Lafforgue, Ayadi, & Schmitz, 2014;Mahdi & Holdich, 2013).…”

Membrane Separation Process in Wastewater Treatment of Food Industry

“…Membrane fouling by food wastewater filtration is attributed to depositation of species from effluents onto the membrane surface or within membrane porous, it causes a permeate flux decline with time because the filtration resistance is significant increased (Foley, 2006). Fouling studies on membranes are based in proteins depositation and their interaction in membranes surface.…”
