In the reuse water system,the fouling problem of reverse osmosis membrane often occurs.The cause of fouling is often difficult to determine,so the fouling problem cannot be funda-mentally solved.This paper elaborates in detail the process and method of solving the fouling prob-lem of reverse osmosis membrane by using SEM-EDS to analyze the fouling situation of the micro-structure of reverse osmosis membrane and the distribution of fouling elements,and then using the scaling trend simulation software to simulate the optimal operation conditions of the reverse osmo-sis system.From the practical application cases of this paper,SEM-EDS combined with scaling trend simulation software can quickly and effectively find the specific components of membrane fouling,and fundamentally solve the fouling problem.
