Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) material is commonly used to manufacture membranes used in membrane biological reactor (MBR) applications. Due to the nature of the material being hydrophobic, it tends to foul easily in MBR and fouling is considered a major concern for MBR. PVDF membranes are thus usu...
