Full Description

A number of studies reported in recent years have focused on optimizing the operation of microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membrane systems from the perspective of minimizing membrane fouling and ultimately lowering the cost of operation for drinking water utilities. Some studies have reported the results from microbial challenge experiments, but additional work is required to determine if the operating conditions that minimize fouling in membrane systems also result in maximum removal of microbial contaminants. The objective of this study is to investigate the roles that relevant operating conditions, and water quality parameters have on the removal efficiency of microbial contaminants by UF membranes. Includes 5 references, figures.
