How can membrane fouling be prevented? Membrane fouling by bacterial biofilms has remained a persistent and unmet challenge for membrane-based water purification systems worldwide. Even if you remove 99.9% of pathogens from water there will still be enough cells remaining which will continue to grow and form biofilms. Biofouling alone contributes to more than 45% […]
