Abstract
The effect of Candida rugosa and steapsin lipase cleaning was investigated for ultrafiltration polyethersulphone membrane (30,000 dalton MWCO) fouled with the semi-synthetic type cutting oil. The experimental by the water circulator. The enzyme cleaning effect was measured with respect to temperature, cleaning time and enzyme concentration. The optimum cleaning condition for the system was 25$^{\circ}C$ and 2 hour cleaning with 1,000 unites/mL steapsin solution. The pure water flux improvement by the steapsin solution cleaning was about 17% at the optimum cleaning condition.
