Forward osmosis (FO) is an osmotic process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to effect separation of water from dissolved solutes by an osmotic pressure gradient. Unlike reverse osmosis (RO), FO does not require high pressure for separation, allowing low energy consumption to produce water. Howeve

Although submerged microfiltration is widely used as a pretreatment process for surface water treatment and RO desalination, its high energy consumption is a major drawback compared to conventional pretreatment. Especially, aeration during filtration is an energy-intensive step in most submerged mem
