This paper decribes a study to evaluate the effect of ozone as pre-treatment with ceramic membrane filtration with a focus on permeability, filterability and to understand ozone-induced particle destabilization in high and low concentration of calcium and magnesium....

Research conducted to examine the effect of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) in the fouling of ultrafiltration ceramic membranes used to treat seawater from the Red Sea. Although ceramic membranes are known to be robust against high pressures encountered in backwashing and cleaning chemicals, the study was undertaken to determine optimal flux...
