Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "High pressure membrane processes, using spiral-wound membranes, are increasingly used in water treatment, desalination of seawater, in wastewater reclamation and for industrial processes to achieve water of a high quality. Membrane fouling is a major cause of operational problems, and biofouling in particular is commonly occurring in membrane installations despite decades of research and improvements in pre-treatment and maintenance." -- Exec summary.
