Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are a major fouling component in membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems. For a better understanding of the fouling mechanisms of EPS, the evolution of fouling of sodium alginate, a microbial polysaccharide was studied during crossflow ultrafiltration and microfilt

## Abstract Colloidal particles and soluble matter in sludge supernatant are major membrane foulants during the operation of membrane bioreactors in wastewater treatment. The article discusses membrane fouling mechanisms during membrane filtration of sludge supernatant liquor. The influence of supe
Membrane bioreactor (MBR) is an important solid-liquid separation technology employed widely in the wastewater treatment. However, membrane fouling is the major problem that hinders the practical application of membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems. A major obstacle for the application of MBRs is the ra
When the crossflow specific cake resistance is determined from measurements of the steady state cake mass and filtrate flux, an apparent value is obtained which is equal to the true value only if membrane fouling is negligible. The apparent specific resistance can increase with increasing crossflow
In this study, ultrafiltration (UF) membranes with various pore sizes were prepared by the phase inversion method, and their fouling characteristics were investigated with membrane bioreactor (MBR) mixed liquor. MBR sludge was fractionated into three parts, suspended solids, colloids and solutes, an
