Evaluation of the importance of various operating and sludge property parameters to the fouling of membrane bioreactors
A single-fibre microfiltration system was employed to investigate the importance of various operating and sludge property parameters to the membrane fouling during sludge filtration. The sludge was obtained from a submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR). A series of comparative and correlative filtration and fouling tests were conducted on the influence of the operating variables, sludge properties ...

An evaluation of MBR and conventional pretreatment for reverse osmosis for water reclamation
Two wastewater polishing systems were compared in terms of their ability to protect downstream reverse osmosis (RO) processes. A conventional full-scale wastewater treatment system with primary and secondary treatment followed by rotating biological contactors (RBC) and sand filtration were compared in a side-by-side study with a pilot-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR). Effluent from the two ...

What is the Membrane Bioreactor Tank?
MBR membrane bioreactor is a new type of water treatment technology that combines membrane separation technology and activated sludge biotechnology. The MBR membrane module is placed in the membrane tank to replace the role of the secondary sedimentation tank in traditional water treatment. The treatment method is more efficient, and the effluent quality is better. In the operation of the entire ...

Three stages MBR (methanogenic, aerobic biofilm and membrane filtration) for the treatment of low-strength wastewaters
The use of a new three stages MBR process with a first methanogenic UASB stage, a second stage with aerobic biofilm growing on small carrier elements maintained in suspension and third stage with membrane filtration module is presented. The objective of the first methanogenic chamber is to diminish COD of the raw wastewater, producing a biogas rich in methane, and decrease the sludge production. ...

Membrane bioreactor technology for decentralised wastewater treatment and reuse
There is a growing interest in utilising non-traditional water resources by means of water reclamation and water recycling for long term sustainability. Amongst the many treatment alternatives, membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have been seen as an effective technology capable of transforming various types of wastewater into high-quality effluent exceeding most discharge requirements and suitable for a ...

Advantages of MBRs Over Conventional Biological Treatment Method
1. What is MBR (Membrane Bioreactor)? The MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) which was first used in the late 1960s made a revolution in the wastewater industry in the early 1990s by combining membrane filtration with a biological treatment solution to treat wastewater. It's been commonly used since then and can be seen widely practiced in the design of both new and old wastewater treatment facilities. ...

Wastewater treatment using bioreactor with dual functional ceramic membrane
A novel bioreactor including a group of dual functional ceramic membranes was developed and used for wastewater treatment. The ceramic membranes could be used for both aeration and filtration alternately, so fouling to ceramic membrane would be palliated effectively as its dual functions. For 100 days operation, COD removal ratio was 88∼97% for influent COD of 154∼1389 mg/L, and NH4+-N removal ...

Fouling membrane in an anaerobic membrane bioreactor treating municipal wastewater
An anaerobic membrane reactor (AnMBR) treating municipal wastewater was evaluated. The experiments were performed using a pilot-scale up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor with a submerged tubular ultrafiltration membrane at a hydraulic retention time of 8 hours. The system worked at an intermittent filtration mode (4 min on/1 min off) with and without nitrogen gas bubbling during the ...

Low energy consumption vortex wave flow membrane bioreactor
In order to reduce the energy consumption and membrane fouling of the conventional membrane bioreactor (MBR), a kind of low energy consumption vortex wave flow MBR was exploited based on the combination of biofilm process and membrane filtration process, as well as the vortex wave flow technique. The experimental results showed that the vortex wave flow state in the membrane module could be ...

SANASA Capivari II – the first full-scale municipal membrane bioreactor in Latin America
The macro region of Campinas (Brazil) is rapidly evolving with new housing developments and industries, creating the challenge of finding new ways to treat wastewater to a quality that can be reused in order to overcome water scarcity problems. To address this challenge, SANASA (a publicly owned water and wastewater concessionaire from Campinas) has recently constructed the ‘EPAR (Water ...

Survey on nitrogen removal and membrane filtration characteristics of
Chlorella vulgaris Beij. on treating domestic type wastewatersThe main objective of this study is to evaluate the nitrogen assimilation and filtration characteristics of Chlorella vulgaris Beij. when treating domestic wastewaters. Chlorella could assimilate organic nitrogen, ammonia and nitrate in wastewater, and the mean cell residence time (MCRT) to achieve the maximum biomass content in a bioreactor was different for each individual nitrogen source ...

Profile: Performance of diatomite/iron oxide modified nonwoven membrane used in membrane bioreactor process for wastewater reclamation
MBR technology has obvious advantages over conventional activated sludge process such as high pollutant removal efficiency, complete solid–liquid separation and little sludge waste. However, high membrane cost, intensive energy consumption and serious membrane fouling limited its wide application. Therefore, low-cost filters, such as nonwoven, mesh and filter cloth have been applied to ...

Oily Wastewater
In the production process of rolling, galvanizing, spraying, metal cutting, oil and alkali refining, a large amount of oily wastewater is produced. JIUWU company has been successfully applied to the treatment of oily wastewater with ceramic membrane technology, and there are many typical cases. JIUWU company can provide the overall process package of emulsified oil wastewater treatment. The ...

Membane bioreactors: is submerged best?
Untitled Document The energy and space-saving characteristics of submerged membrane bioreactors have prompted many to view them as the most efficient and cost effective wastewater treatment technology. But there are equally viable alternatives, argues Ronald van ‘t Oever of Netherlands-based X-Flow. A membrane bioreactor (MBR) is a compact-built purification system combining ...
