Article: Could Membrane Fouling Be A Thing Of The Past?

Michael Dosmar

Membrane fouling is a process that causes a marked decrease in the performance of ultrafilter membranes. Fouling of ultrafilters has been inextricably linked to protein processing. By understanding the fouling phenomenon, we can minimize or eliminate this problem through proper selection of currently available modified (stabilized) regenerated cellulose (M-RC) ultrafilters.
