Modelling of membrane fouling in ultrafiltration of Adsorbed Biotreated Palm Oil Mill Effluent (ABPOME)
Organic matter and particles in wastewater are usually held responsible for most membrane pore blockings ultimately resulting in fouling during treatment processes. This study was conducted, for the first time, to elucidate the ultrafiltration (UF) membrane fouling phenomena caused by residual...

| description | Organic matter and particles in wastewater are usually
held responsible for most membrane pore blockings
ultimately resulting in fouling during treatment
processes. This study was conducted, for the first time,
to elucidate the ultrafiltration (UF) membrane fouling
phenomena caused by residual particulates in an
adsorbed biotreated palm oil mill effluent (ABPOME)
which is an end-of-pipe industrial wastewater from the
palm oil processing industry. A laboratory-based bench
scale experimentation using a cross flow membrane
filtration system equipped with Polyethersulfone
membranes of 1, 5, and 10 kDa UF, and operated at
transmembrane pressures (TMP) of 40, 80 and 120 kPa
was carried out. The experimental results revealed that
the 5 kDa UF performed better with the particles
contributing to a reversible type of fouling bringing
about by cake layer formation mechanism with the
highest coefficient of determination (R2) value of 0.9849.
The flux-time curves have been analyzed using Hermia’s
revised blocking filtration laws. |
