When a membrane is used to harvest algae, membrane fouling caused by algae and extracellular organic matter (EOM) is a serious challenge. A uniform shearing vibration membrane (USVM) system was devised and applied to reducing membrane fouling in algae filtration. The shear rate produced by USVM is c...
