Membrane biofouling mechanism in an aerobic granular reactor degrading 4-chlorophenol.
The membrane fouling of an aerobic granular reactor coupled with a submerged membrane in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was evaluated. The fouling analysis was performed by applying microscopy techniques to determine the morphology and structure of the fouling layer on a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. It was found that the main cause of fouling was the polysaccharide adsorption on the memb...
متن کاملa new membrane - aerated biofilm reactor for low energy wastewater treatment : pilot results
A new hybrid membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) technology that enables energy-neutral treatment of municipal wastewater is introduced. The process, which removes nitrogen using conventional nitrificationdenitrification, was demonstrated at pilot-scale, treating primary effluent. The new MABR membrane product can operate in a high mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) environment, making it...
متن کاملSuccession of biofilm communities responsible for biofouling of membrane bio-reactors (MBRs)
Biofilm formation is one of the main factors associated with membrane biofouling in membrane bioreactors (MBRs). As such, it is important to identify the responsible organisms to develop targeted strategies to control biofouling. This study investigated the composition and changes in the microbial communities fouling MBR membranes over time and correlated those changes with an increase in trans...
متن کاملMicrobial biofilms facilitate adhesion in biofouling invertebrates.
Much interest has focused on the role of microbial layers--biofilms--in stimulating attachment of invertebrates and algae to submerged marine surfaces. We investigated the influence of biofilms on the adhesion strength of settling invertebrates. Larvae of four species of biofouling invertebrate were allowed to attach to test surfaces that were either clean or coated with a natural biofilm. Meas...
متن کاملTwo distinct microbial communities revealed in the sponge Cinachyrella
Marine sponges are vital components of benthic and coral reef ecosystems, providing shelter and nutrition for many organisms. In addition, sponges act as an essential carbon and nutrient link between the pelagic and benthic environment by filtering large quantities of seawater. Many sponge species harbor a diverse microbial community (including Archaea, Bacteria and Eukaryotes), which can const...
