Abstract

Key findings

  • SMP accumulation was significantly higher in the system under starvation conditions compared to normal conditions.
  • Membrane fouling rates were positively correlated with SMP concentrations.
  • The presence of SMP was found to be a major contributor to membrane fouling in the system.
