This study increases our current understanding on the degradation/ageing mechanisms occurring on porous membranes used in the water and wastewater industries. Accelerated membrane degradation was obtained through both static and consecutive ageing protocols on the pilot-scale, and a range of carefully selected characterisation and analytical techniques was used to characterise the nascent changes faced by the membrane material.
The report covers four interrelated sections:
• critical assessment of characterisation techniques,
• static accelerated ageing
• consecutive accelerated ageing
• consecutive ageing of industrially-aged membranes. This final report summarises the aims, objectives, outcomes and limitations of the individual work packages, along with some recommendations for future work.
This book is co-published with Water Research Australia .

Membrane Treatment of Secondary Effluent for Subsequent Use
Granular-media filtered secondary effluent from a full-scale plant was subsequently treated at pilot-plant scale by combinations of low- and high pressure membranes. The feedwater was split...
