This project was designed to develop a system and approach for real-time integrity monitoring of high pressure reverse osmosis/nanofiltration (RO/NF) membrane systems by using pulsed dosing and online detection of fluorescent molecular markers (i.e., tracers), referred to herein as pulsed-marker membrane integrity monitoring (PM-MIMo)....
Investigation of Desalination Membrane Biofouling
Date: December 31, 2014
This project has three main objectives. The first was to identify and quantify the water quality constituents and environmental factors that trigger accelerated biofouling of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) membranes and to determine key species of marine microorganisms involved in biofilm formation....
