(2018, background): “Typical polymeric membrane materials for MBR applications include polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) (which accounts for approximately 45% of polymeric MBR membranes), polyethylene (PE), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), and Polyethersulfone (PES); of which the PAN membrane is most likely the most fouling resist”
