Although SWRO treatment shows high performance, a major problem associated with the biological growth of algal blooms (AB) still exists in many areas. This study reviewed the current applications of pretreatment for the removal of AB-forming species in seawater and identified limitations to highlight future research areas. In addition, we evaluated pretreatment techniques such as meshed tube bio-filtration (MTBF) and UV oxidation, with the aim of marine algal cells and marine algal organic matter (AOM) removal, respectively. Vital indicators for ABs quantification, effects of the AB-forming species’ properties (size/shape, cell rigidity and toxicity/mobility) on treatment, and potential problems during AB-forming species removal were also visited.
