    Membrane fouling occurs when permeate flux decreases or transmembrane pressure increases during membrane processes. It is caused by the adsorption of macromolecular and colloidal matter, growth of biofilms on the membrane surface, and precipitation of inorganic matter. Fouling in membrane bioreactors is a complex phenomenon influenced by diverse factors related to its causes.

    Membrane Fouling:

    A decrease in the permeate flux or increase in TMP during a membrane process is


    generally understood by the term “fouling”.

    Fouling of membranes in MBRs is a very complex phenomenon with diverse


    relationships among its causes.

    The main causes of membrane fouling are:

    1. Adsorption of macromolecular and colloidal matter


    2. Growth of biofilms on the membrane surface
    3. Precipitation of inorganic matter
    4. Aging of the membrane
