Poster summary

An intact RO membrane is expected to achieve an LRV > 6 for pathogenic surrogates. But prior research indicates that defects in the active layer and, mechanical failure in the membrane module can compromise the performance of full-scale RO systems, leading to breakthroughs. However, there have been no studies on microbial passage in couponscale testing systems for highly selective RO membrane characterization on a laboratory scale.
