The presentation will address the results of pilot and bench scale tests and the application of a Nanofiltration retention model for trace organic compounds. ....

In this paper a new dimension is given to the concept of membrane fouling. In the already known fouling mechanisms for dead-end operated capillary ultra-filtration membranes fouling is considered a radial phenomenon (pore blocking, cake filtration). However, fouling also appears to have longitudinal effects....

One of the major disadvantages of membrane filtration for the production of drinking water is the occurrence of membrane fouling which leads to operational problems and to a deterioration of the treated water quality. One of the causes of membrane fouling is the presence of natural organic matter (NOM) in sources for drinking water. The aim of this...
