Abstract
The development of membrane technology has reached a state whereby operational optimisation is becoming the major issue to both researchers and industrial operators. A key focus is towards sustainable operation where fouling is limited and cleaning is greatly reduced. The paper presents an example of such an approach for the filtration of natural organic matter (NOM) in a dead-end ultrafiltration cell. Sustainable operation has been assesse d in relation tothe application of a cessation period followed by a gentle rinse. The work demonstrates the existence of a critical filtered volume below which the mass accumulated at the membrane’s surface is reversible and above which significant fouling occurs. Further, appropriate selection of operating conditions (filtered volume and applied pressure) makes it possible to avoid the formation of an irreversible fouling layer.
