Abstract
⺠High F/M-MBR permeate led to higher RO fouling rate. ⺠Soluble polysaccharides and TEP on the RO membranes were associated with RO fouling. ⺠Propagation of bacterial cells on the RO membranes did not determine RO fouling. ⺠The presence of inline filters in the RO systems alleviated RO fouling. ⺠FA-like and microbial by-product-like substances were predominant in RO foulants.
