Abstract

Key findings

  • Membrane fouling significantly affects the performance of MBR systems, leading to reduced permeate flux and increased energy consumption.
  • The microbial community plays a crucial role in membrane fouling, with certain microorganisms contributing to the formation of biofilms and extracellular polymeric substances.
  • The interaction between membrane fouling and microbial community has a significant impact on the overall performance of MBR systems.
