Journal ArticleDOI
Forward osmosis niches in seawater desalination and wastewater reuse
R. Valladares Linares,Zhenyu Li,Sarper Sarp,Sz.S. Bucs,Gary L. Amy,Johannes S. Vrouwenvelder,Johannes S. Vrouwenvelder +6 more
TL;DR: The features of hybrid FO systems are highlighted and the state-of-the-art applications in the water industry in a novel classification and based on the latest developments toward scaling up these systems are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of spacer thickness on biofouling in forward osmosis.
R. Valladares Linares,R. Valladares Linares,Sz.S. Bucs,Zhenyu Li,M. AbuGhdeeb,Gary L. Amy,Johannes S. Vrouwenvelder,Johannes S. Vrouwenvelder +7 more
TL;DR: The influence of feed spacer thickness on biofouling development and membrane performance in a forward osmosis system, using identical cross-flow cells in parallel studies, is determined and analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of organic nutrient load on biomass accumulation, feed channel pressure drop increase and permeate flux decline in membrane systems
Sz.S. Bucs,Sz.S. Bucs,R. Valladares Linares,R. Valladares Linares,M.C.M. van Loosdrecht,Joop C. Kruithof,Johannes S. Vrouwenvelder,Johannes S. Vrouwenvelder +7 more
TL;DR: The studies showed that the organic nutrient load determined the accumulated amount of biomass, and indicated that cleanings can be delayed but are unavoidable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of water temperature on biofouling development in reverse osmosis membrane systems.
TL;DR: Different biofilm activities, structures, and quantities were found in the MFS for the different feed water temperatures, indicating that diagnosis of biofouling of membranes operated at different or varyingFeed water temperatures may be challenging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compaction and relaxation of biofilms
R. Valladares Linares,Adam D. Wexler,Sz.S. Bucs,C. Dreszer,Arie Zwijnenburg,Hans-Curt Flemming,Joop C. Kruithof,Johannes S. Vrouwenvelder +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of biofouling flux variations on biofilm thickness, structure, and stiffness with optical coherence tomography (OCT) using membrane fouling monitors operated at a constant crossflow velocity of 0.1 m−s−1 with permeate production.
