The main objective of this work was to determine the impact of various backwash scenarios on fouling in a pilotscale submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) aerobically treating domestic wastewater. A total of seven different backwash scenarios were tested. The degree of membrane fouling was determined

The main objective of this work was to investigate and compare the removals of boron from model solutions (boron as single solute in distilled and deionized water) and seawater using two commercial high rejection SWRO membranes. The impacts of dissolved solids in seawater and pH on boron rejection a

The main objective of this work was to investigate boron removal from seawater using two commercial high rejection SWRO membranes. The impact of solution pH, feed concentration, pressure, and cross-flow velocity on boron rejection and permeate flux was determined. The membranes used were the TorayTM
