What does membrane biofouling mean in practice?
Causes a permanent increase in resistance, a decrease in efficiency and a quick recurrence of the problem after incomplete cleaning.
When does it matter?
The source is the influx of microorganisms and nutrients, so disinfecting the membrane alone may not be enough.
Which solutions are related to it?
Control biology and TOC in the feed, reduce stagnation, and conduct compatible disinfection and cleaning.
