Forward Flush
Forward flush is usually conducted just before filtration is resumed. For this step, the feed water is pumped from
the feed tank, passing through the modules and flushed out via the concentrate drain. There is no filtration
during this time. The purpose of the forward flush, like air scouring, is to remove foulants from the surface of
the membranes.
