Low-pressure membrane processes, such as ultrafiltration (UF), are effective for treating algae-laden eutrophic source waters. However, fouling caused by algae excreted organics can be a major obstacle to the smooth operation of membrane processes. In this study, three algae species, with a similar cell size and shape, but a different amount of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), were selected. The characteristics of the bound EPS, including its amount and constituents, mainly polysaccharide and protein. were analyzed. Cell suspensions were filtered through a dead-end stirred cell with a regenerated cellulose UF membrane. Based on the observations of permeate flux decline at higher transmembrane pressure (TMP) and critical flux values, it can be concluded that algae cell EPS do affect membrane fouling, and the constituents of EPS may also play a role.
