On the other hand, Renylat 45 caused higher fouling for organic
than for inorganic membranes.
In this way, Hofs et al. [28] reported
that fouling degree is higher for organic than for inorganic membranes,
at least when membranes were fouled with lake water.
In addition, this group of researchers concluded that the lower volume/
area ratio, the more membrane fouling degree.
Following this
explanation, organic membranes had a lower volume/area ratio
than inorganic membranes since they were tested in a flat sheet
module.
