Membrane technology is widely used in various water treatment processes such as water desalination, sewage treatment, and advanced water treatment for producing clean tap water. Membrane filtration technology is a method that can significantly improve water quality and has been suggested as an alternative that can effectively prevent larvae in the tap water that has become a widespread issue in Korea recently. However, current membrane technology suffers from a rapid performance reduction due to the accumulation of bacterial adhesion on the membrane surface and the growth of microbial cells, leading to high maintenance costs.
