TL;DR: An increase occurs in the rate of circulation in the pores which remain open, which may reach critical local filtration conditions, resulting in the formation of deposits which are reversible but induce an abrupt change in transmembrane pressure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of adsorption on membrane fouling during filtration of a membrane bioreactor (MBR) mixed liquor suspension was quantified using β-lactoglobulin solutions.

TL;DR: Experimental results showed that the combination of ultrasonic pretreatment and alkaline adjustment caused significant enhancements of WAS hydrolysis and VFA accumulation, and energy density influenced not only the total V FA accumulation but also the percentage of individual VFA.

TL;DR: In this article, a membrane bioreactor used for denitrification of a synthetic substrate was studied in terms of membrane fouling, and the role of carbonate calcium precipitation was pointed out.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results from filtration of biological suspensions which had been subjected to defined hydrodynamic and biological conditions in a membrane bioreactor and demonstrate the positive effect of the crossflow velocity and the possible presence of a particle layer close to the membrane surface.
