| Abstract | This study investigates the direct ultrafiltration process of municipal wastewater (MWW) at pilot scale. Shortterm trials were conducted with two membrane modules to assess the fouling mechanisms using different physical cleaning methods: gas sparging (hydraulic cleaning) and rotation (mechanical cleaning). This work demonstrates that membrane rotation effectively erodes and re -disperses external fouling during the backwashing stages. Consequently, shear stress generated by the rotational movement enables the operation with permeate fluxes ranging between 24 and 30 L/hm2, above the threshold flux value (22-24 L/hm2), while maintaining fouling rates (rf) below 10 Pa/s. In contrast, rf values increases up to 12.4-17.8 Pa/s when gas sparging is employed. Furthermore, the feasibility of up-concentrating municipal wastewater up to 12 times while operating with a net permeate flux of 20 L/hm2 is demonstrated through a long-term trial. The increase in suspended solids concentration (TSS = 5750 mg/L and VSS = 4750 mg/L) favours the rapid formation of a reversible cake on the membrane surface during filtration, at moderate transmembrane pressures (26 cmHg). These operating conditions avoid cake layer compression and protect the inner surface of the membrane module from severe internal residual fouling with an energy consumption of 0.027 kWh/m3. |
