The effect that biofiltration had on the fouling behaviour of several commercial nanofiltration (NF) membranes used for drinking water treatment was investigated using a bench-scale set-up. A dual-media anthracite-sand biofilter was used to pretreat a humic acid-laden solution spiked with a solution

The fouling characteristics of ultrafiltration membranes used in drinking water were investigated when used alone and when used in an integrated biofilter-membrane system to treat a humic-acid laden solution. Membrane strands from sacrificial modules operating in parallel with bench-scale modules we

Membranes are very effective in removing a wide variety of water contaminants. Therefore, the use of these processes in water purification to replace or to improve conventional treatment has increased. An inherent problem of membranes is fouling, the accumulation of materials (foulants) near, on, or
