N2 - Nanofiltration (NF) membrane systems are typically operated in relatively low-pressure range. One of the main reasons is that the rejection of water contaminants by NF membranes at relatively high pressure is affected by concentration polarization. However, experimental results from this study revealed that even though the rejection of MS2 phage initially decreased when trans-membrane pressure went up, as a result of the concentration polarization effect, an increasing trend of rejection was observed with further increases in pressure in excess of a certain pressure/water flux value. This phenomenon was observed with ESNA1® (Hydranautics, Oceanside, CA) NF membranes at pH 6-7.6 and 11-25°C.
