Further development and application of the TEP10kDa method to assess and monitor surface water treatment plants

Water usage on a global scale has been increasing and it has become hard to meet the enormous amount of water required in all water-used-sectors. As a result, membrane-based water treatment systems have become a promising alternative because of their safe and steady produced water quality and quantity. However, the major barrier to applying membrane-based technologies is "membrane fouling". Algal blooms are natural seasonal occurrence phenomena that can be unavoidable. Most membrane-based water treatment plants around the world have experienced membrane fouling because of algal bloom impacted... Mehr ...
