Performance and fouling characteristics of two pilot-scale polyvinylidene fluoride hollow fiber microfiltration membranes for drinking water treatment were studied under the same flux and physical cleaning conditions. It is expected that this paper can provide insights into the functions of operatio

The main obstacle for a wider use of membrane bioreactors (MBRs) for wastewater treatment is membrane fouling, which increases operating costs. For a more efficient control of membrane fouling in MBRs, an understanding of the mechanisms of membrane fouling is important. We conducted two separate pil
