This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of the increasing popularity of membrane filtration, and how fouling is the most crucial limitation for membrane performance. Water Research Foundation (WRF) Project # WRF-06-010A, "State of the Science Review of Membrane Fouling: Organic, Inorganic, and Biological," is presented, which summarizes current research activities focused on nanofiltration and reverse osmosis. Topics presented in this presentation include: the current understanding of inorganic, organic, and biological fouling; future directions; and, implications of research.
