The inclusion of granular activated carbon (GAC) in membrane bioreactors (MBRs) can mitigate membrane fouling, partly due to their physical interaction with membrane surfaces. Fluid flow and membrane configuration affect sludge deposition onto membranes, the properties of the fouling layer, and subs...
