Abstract:
Temperature plays a very important role in the formation of fouling precursors in crude oils which is considered to be the first step before the precursors are either attached to the wall as a deposit or transferred back to the bulk fluid by diffusion. In order to investigate the formation characteristics of fouling precursors in crude oils at different bulk temperatures, a custom-design thin film microreactor is constructed. It is observed during the experiments that tendency to form fouling precursors is higher at higher surface temperatures. The precursor particles once formed continue to g

Abstract:
A pilot-scale study was performed to evaluate a coagulant dose which had been optimized for biopolymer (i.e., foulant) removal on subsequent ultrafiltration (UF) fouling, as well as disinfection by-product (DBP) precursor removal. Polyaluminum chloride (PACl) dosages were selected based on a point of diminishing returns for biopolymer removal (0.5 mg/L) and directly compared to that applied at full-scale (6 mg/L). Membrane fouling (reversible and irreversible) was measured as resistance increase over a 48 hour filtration period. DBP formation potential (total trihalomethanes (TTHMs), haloaceti

Abstract:
Semi-empirical threshold fouling models predict higher fouling rates at high surface or film temperatures. Several experimental fouling data reported in literature and from our study were analyzed with respect to increase in surface and bulk temperatures that showed a decrease in fouling rates. The existing threshold fouling models do not adequately describe the phenomenon of decreasing fouling rates with increase in surface or bulk temperatures. The possible causes including the effect of temperature difference, heating regime and solubility of fouling precursors were analyzed and reported.

Abstract:
This study investigated the removal characteristics of N-Nitrosamines and their precursors at three pilot-scale water reclamation plants. These plants applies different integrated membrane systems: (1) microfiltration (MF)/nanofiltration (NF)/reverse osmosis (RO) membrane; (2) sand filtration/three-stage RO; and (3) ultrafiltration (UF)/NF and UF/RO. Variable removal of N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) by the RO processes could be attributed to membrane fouling and the feed water temperature. The effect of membrane fouling on N-Nitrosamine removal was extensively evaluated at one of the plants by

Abstract:
A pilot-scale study was conducted to evaluate the impact of several biofiltration enhancement strategies in terms of organic removal to reduce disinfection by-product (DBP) formation potential and mitigate ultrafiltration (UF) fouling. Strategies included nutrient addition (nitrogen and phosphorus) to optimize metabolic degradation of organics, use of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, peroxide) to improve filter run times, and the application of in-line aluminum sulphate (alum) for biopolymer removal. The impact of media type on performance was also examined (anthracite versus granular activated carbon

Abstract:
Water purification by ultrafiltration (UF) requires regular membrane cleaning via backwashing. In the case of chemically enhanced backwashing (CEB), it can result in the formation of unwanted by-product precursors due to reactions with organic matters present in the backwashing water and accumulating on the membrane. After subsequent disinfection, these precursors are prone to generate trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs), posing potential risks to the chemical safety of drinking water. However, limited information was available regarding the removal of these disinfection by-prod

High operational cost due to membrane fouling propensity remains a major drawback for the widespread application of membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology. As a result, studies on membrane fouling mitigation through the application of integrated processes have been widely explored. In this work, the combined application of electrochemical processes and moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) technology within an MBR at laboratory scale was performed by applying an intermittent voltage of 3 V/cm to a reactor filled with 30% carriers.

This pilot study investigates the formation of aggregates within a desalination plant, before and after pre-treatment, as well as their potential impact on fouling. The objective is to provide an understanding of the biofouling potential of the feed water within a seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant, due to the limited removal of fouling precursors. The 16S and 18S rRNA was extracted from the water samples, and the aggregates and sequenced.

Abstract:
Ultra-filtration technology has been increasingly used in drinking water treatment due to improvements in membrane performance and lowering of costs. However, membrane fouling is the main limitation in the application of ultra-filtration technology. In this study, we investigated the impact of four different pre-treatments: Coagulation, adsorption, coagulation followed by adsorption (C-A), and simultaneous coagulation and adsorption (C+A), on membrane fouling and natural organic matter removal efficiency.

Algal extracellular organic matter (EOM) will cause grievous membrane fouling during the filtration of algae-laden water; hence, boron-doped diamond (BDD) anodizing was selected as the pretreatment process before the ultrafiltration, and the EOM fouling mitigation mechanism and the purification efficiency were systematically investigated. The results showed that BDD oxidation could significantly alleviate the decline of membrane flux and reduce membrane fouling, and the effect was more notable with an increase in oxidation time.

Transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) and their precursors have been identified as critical causal factors in fouling of desalination and other water treatment membranes. TEP and the fractions thereof are composed of a wide variety of organic constituents and size fractions and have conventionally been only quantified by an operational method, specifically, Alcian Blue measurement. For fouling control and mitigation purposes, it is important to accurately measure the amount of both TEP and TEP precursors, their fouling capacity, and their response to cleaning.

Abstract Spatial atomic layer deposition (SALD) is a thin film deposition technique that could provide precise atomic-scale control at a large enough scale for many applications, such as clean energy technologies, catalytic conversion, batteries, and anti-fouling coatings. The spatially separated precursor zones are sequentially exposed to the substrate surface to deposit a film with precise control. If the precursor zones were to intermix during a deposition process, the precise control over film thickness would be lost. Therefore, it is essential to control the location of the precursors wit
