Abstract Membrane fouling significantly reduces membrane permeability, leading to higher operational expenses. In situ monitoring of membrane fouling can potentially be used to reduce operation cost by optimizing operational parameters and cleaning conditions. In this study, a platinum wire with a diameter of 20 µm was attached to the surface of a ceramic ultrafiltration membrane, and by measuring the voltage across the wire while applying an AC current, the amplitude of the third harmonic wave, the so-called 3ω signal, was obtained. Results showed increasing 3ω signals during formation of fouling layers, which correlates directly to the hydraulic resistance of the formed fouling layer in semi-dead end filtration of polymeric core shell particles and crossflow filtration of diluted milk. This is explained by the insulating effect of the fouling layers which reduces heat convection by crossflow and the different thermal conductivity in the fouling layer compared with the feed. After membrane cleaning, the permeability and the magnitude of the 3ω signal were partly restored, showing that the 3ω method can be used to monitor the effect of cleaning. The frequency of the AC current was varied so it was possible to measure the heat conductivity in the fouling layer (high frequency) and heat convection due to cross-flow (low frequency). This may potentially be used to get information of the type of fouling (heat conductivity) and thickness of the fouling layer (AC frequency where heat conductivity becomes dominating). |
