ATP measurement in seawater reverse osmosis systems
Eliminating seawater matrix effects using a filtration-based method
Mini-review
Novel non-destructive in situ biofilm characterization techniques in membrane systems
Potential pitfalls in membrane fouling evaluation
Merits of data representation as resistance instead of flux decline in membrane filtration
The manner in which membrane-fouling experiments are conducted and how fouling performance data are represented have a strong impact on both how the data are interpreted and on the conclusions that may be drawn. We provide a couple of examples to prove that it is possible to o ...
A comparison between chemical cleaning efficiency in lab-scale and full-scale reverse osmosis membranes
Role of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS)
Periodic chemical cleaning with urea
Disintegration of biofilms and reduction of key biofilm-forming bacteria from reverse osmosis membranes
Porosity of spacer-filled channels in spiral-wound membrane systems
Quantification methods and impact on hydraulic characterization
The porosity of spacer-filled feed channels influences the hydrodynamics of spiral-wound membrane systems and impacts the overall performance of the system. Therefore, an exact measurement and a detailed understanding of the impact of the feed channel porosity is required to u ...

An important family of carbohydrates overlooked in environmental biofilms
Seawater desalination based drinking water
Microbial characterization during distribution with and without residual chlorine
Monitoring the changes that occur to water during distribution is vital to ensure water safety. In this study, the biological stability of reverse osmosis (RO) produced drinking water, characterized by low cell concentration and low assimilable organic carbon, in combination w ...

Simultaneous phosphorous and nitrogen recovery from source-separated urine
A novel application for fertiliser drawn forward osmosis
Re-thinking our approach to dealing with waste is one of the major challenges in achieving a more sustainable society. However, it could also generate numerous opportunities. Specifically, in the context of wastewater, nutrients, energy and water could be mined from it. Becaus ...

Biofouling in forward osmosis systems
An experimental and numerical study
This study evaluates with numerical simulations supported by experimental data the impact of biofouling on membrane performance in a cross-flow forward osmosis (FO) system. The two-dimensional numerical model couples liquid flow with solute transport in the FO feed and draw ch ...
