Funded Activity Summary

Development of Vibratory Submerged Membrane Systems for Water and Wastewater Treatment. While there has been a dramatic increase in the use of submerged membrane systems in recent years, fouling of these membranes remains a major limitation to their more widespread use with the commonly used antifouling approach of bubbling with air exhibiting serious limitations. Low frequency vibration of submerged membranes appears to offer substantial benefits with regard to increased flexibility of operation (such as the ability for rapid turn up/turn down and the ability to minimise fouling in anaerobic systems)and is likely to further extend the use of membranes in water and wastewater treatment.
