Abstract:Membrane-based processes efforts are focused on mitigating membrane fouling by optimizing operating conditions, especially when low quality surface waters are treated. The study conducted here was driven to evaluate the current measures applied to mitigate fouling in Ultrafiltration (UF) stages when integrated as a pre-treatment of the Reverse Osmosis (RO) in a Drinking Water Treatment Plant (DWTP). First, the effect of coagulants in fouling and water quality was evaluated by using synthetic and surface waters… Show more
