Pretreatment for Specific Contaminants

Specific constituents are of serious concern to membrane fouling.

Natural organic matter (NOM) was found to be the most detrimental contaminant to MF/UF and also a major contributor to low pressure membranes. Removal of NOM was a common research theme including specific project categories:

Adsorbents: Heated Iron Oxide
Softening and Ultrafiltration
Natural Organic Matter Fouling of Low-Pressure Membrane Systems
Cavitation Jet Technology
