Abstract
⺠Biofilm development of reverse osmosis membranes. ⺠Biofouling causes TMP rise that is greater in the absence of flow channel spacers. ⺠Rate of TMP rise increases with imposed flux, at lower cross flow velocity and higher salinity. ⺠Rate of TMP rise correlates with biovolumes obtained by CLSM from membrane autopsy. ⺠Relative contributions of membrane fouling and spacer fouling are likely to be scenario dependent.
