Influence in Operating Conditions for Fouling Resistance of PVDF Membranes at MBRs
The operation of membrane bioreactors (MBRs) is significantly influenced by the fouling resistance of the employed membranes. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes are widely employed in MBR applications due to their desirable properties such as high permeability and chemical resistance. Operating conditions play a essential role in determining the severity of fouling on PVDF membranes. Parameters like transmembrane pressure, influents flow rate, temperature, and pH can greatly modify the fouling resistance. High transmembrane pressures can increase membrane compaction and cake layer formation, leading to increased fouling. A low feed flow rate can result in prolonged contact time between the membrane surface and foulants, promoting adhesion and biofilm growth. Temperature and pH variations can also influence the properties of foulants and membrane surfaces, thereby influencing fouling resistance.

Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) are increasingly utilized for wastewater treatment due to their efficiency in removing suspended solids and organic matter. However, challenges remain in achieving high-level purification targets. To address these limitations, hybrid MBR systems have emerged as a promising strategy. These systems integrate PVDF membranes with various advanced treatment processes to enhance overall performance.
- Specifically, the incorporation of UV disinfection into an MBR system can effectively eliminate pathogenic microorganisms, providing a more level of water quality.
- Additionally, integrating ozonation processes can improve reduction of recalcitrant organic compounds that are difficult to treat through conventional MBR methods.
