Major municipal wastewater reclamation plants in California, USA, Singapore, and many built or planned for other regions of the world use the high pathogen reduction properties of microfiltration/ultrafiltration (MF/UF) membranes followed by reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. Operational experiences in

Fouling of membranes by colloidal organic and inorganic particles continues to be documented as the most common and challenging obstacle in attaining stable continuous operation of reverse osmosis (RO) and ultrafiltration (UF) systems. Much current research is being conducted on physical parameters

Microstructures of cakes formed on ultrafiltration membrane as a result of packing of colloidal aggregates generated in rapid coagulation have been investigated though small angle neutron scattering experiments. Scattering curves show an extensive collapse of fractal structure of colloidal aggregate
