Abstract:

Membrane biofouling is the accumulation of microorganisms onto the membrane surface and into the membrane pores, and is deliberated as an Achilles heel of membrane processes. This chapter discusses in detail biofouling in reverse osmosis membranes in seawater desalination. At the beginning of the chapter, biofouling mechanisms and their adverse effects on the membrane have been elucidated. The chapter also describes biofouling detection and remediation methods. It also highlights the key issues related to the use of conventional and advanced pretreatment schemes for biofouling mitigation. The potential foulants present in seawater and their analysis methods such as assimilable organic carbon are briefed.
