These results were even better than those of the commercial membrane (3.8–4.6 CFU/ml). The semi-pilot scale experiment confirmed the membrane’s suitability for microbial filtration,with both E. coli and total culturable microorganisms (cultured at both 22 and 36 oC) showing a significant decline compared to the non-filtered control (wastewater from the secondary outlet).
