Particulate fouling

Seawater desalination of interest is rising to overcome water scarcity. Especially, desalination using RO membranes is increasingly being used for production of drinking water for brackish and/or seawater. SWRO has operational problems that can be caused by various membranes fouling including partic

An existing model for the simulation of solvent flux, transmembrane pressure and velocity in spiral-wound modules has been combined with results on the critical flux of spacer filled channels to simulate the colloidal fouling of an RO spiral-wound module leaf. A number of situations were examined wh
