• Shell-side TFC hollow fiber for FO was fabricated. • Polyacrylonitrile was used as the support polymer material. • Different pore structures of fibers were considered by altering the fabrication technique. • Our best membrane exhibited a structural parameter of ~300 μm. In this work, we investigated

New membranes for forward osmosis (FO) have been made by numerous academic groups around the world. Few of these designs, however, have made it to full-scale production. For two decades, the only FO membrane made on a full-scale production line was a cellulose acetate membrane from Hydration Technol
