Abstract
A bench-scale study was conducted to evaluate MS-2 virus rejection by reverse osmosis membranes. Viruses were recovered in permeate passing through some of the membrane structures. Thus, if reverse osmosis is t o be used for pathogen removal, quality control measures on reverse os mosis membrane manufacturing are necessary to ensure that the required level of removals are achieved consistently.
