Abstract
The present disclosure provides for a water treatment system including a water tank and a polymer membrane. The water tank includes an inlet in fluid communication with an outlet. The polymer membrane is contained within the water tank and includes Arabic gum so as to minimize biofouling. The polymer membrane may include 0.1% to 7% by weight of Arabic gum. The water tank is configured such that an untreated water stream entering at the inlet is treated by passing the untreated water stream through the polymer membrane before exiting at the outlet.
