Experimental Investigation of Microbial Fouling and Heat Mass Transfer Characteristics on Ni-P Modified Surface of Heat Exchanger

Zhiming Xu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the use of surface modification to inhibit or mitigate microbial fouling deposition on heat exchange surfaces. Experimental results demonstrate that the Ni-P modified surface has excellent fouling inhibition properties, reducing fouling heat resistance by 80% compared to carbon steel. The study also discusses the influencing factors of microbial fouling deposition, such as temperature, flow rate, and microbial concentrations, showing significant impact on fouling resistance.

Use of reverse osmosis for the removal of coliform bacteria from brackish water in the dairy industry

Habib Bouzid et al.

Summary: A limiting recovery rate strategy was established to completely eliminate pathogenic bacteria in the treatment of hard and non-organic brackish water for the production of reconstituted powder-based milk in the dairy industry. This strategy proved to be effective in retaining total hardness and coliforms while addressing issues related to membrane fouling layer thickness and limiting flux.
