Rejection of MS-2 virus by RO membranes

A bench-scale study was conducted to evaluate MS-2 virus rejection by reverse osmosis membranes. Viruses were recovered in permeate passing through some of the membrane structures. Thus, if reverse osmosis is to be used for pathogen removal, quality control measures on reverse osmosis membrane manuf...

Description
Summary:A bench-scale study was conducted to evaluate MS-2 virus rejection by reverse osmosis membranes. Viruses were recovered in permeate passing through some of the membrane structures. Thus, if reverse osmosis is to be used for pathogen removal, quality control measures on reverse osmosis membrane manufacturing are necessary to ensure that the required level of removals are achieved consistently.
