This study investigated effects of the concentration of ball clay suspensions and different filtration modes on the fouling of a submerged module (YEF; Yonsei End Free). In a crossflow filtration mode, short filtration time could reduce the membrane fouling at the one-minute stop duration. In order

The superficial velocity of a submerged module (YEF) was investigated to design better air distribution system. Air from the aerator tends to channel more to center part as the module becomes bigger. A 3-way aerator showed more uniform distribution of air bubbles among the fibers. Therefore, the 3-w

A theoretical model to predict the porosity and specific resistance of cake layer was developed for better understanding a coagulation-microfiltration system for drinking water production. The model was based on fractal theory and incorporated intra-floc and inter-floc porosities as well as cake col

The role of the cake particle solidosity in the context of the shear-induced diffusion model for membrane dominated microfiltration is presented. First the concept of shear-induced diffusion is reviewed to illustrate the importance of the particle solidosity in the formation of the cake. The diffusi
