This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of membrane processes and fouling. Presentation objectives include the following: summarize the current knowledge base onmembrane fouling in desalination and waterreuse systems, includingfouling mechanisms, commonly encountered foulants, andemerging foulants; and,identify future research needs for mitigatingmembrane fouling. Presentation summary includes the following:membrane fouling is a complex problem that is dependent on many variables;a comprehensive feedwater characterization is critical for understanding howfouling will affect your system;fouling mitigation strategies must focus on all different areas involved in amembrane process such assystem design, membrane selection, and system operation; and,current and future research is needed to provide more tools for combatingmembrane fouling.
