Abstract
Ultrafiltration offers attractive advantages in the treatment of efflu ent streams originating from an abattoir. However, severe fouling caus ed by the presence of proteinaceous and fatty constituents in such str eams reduce membrane transport rates to unacceptable levels in a very short period. Cleaning regimes by which membrane transport rates can b e restored and maintained effectively have been evaluated both in the laboratory and applied in the field with success.
