Dimensioning of membrane bioreactors for municipal wastewater treatment

Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) for Municipal Wastewater Treatment – An Australian Perspective

With the current focus on water reuse projects and the role they play in the water cycle, the search for cost competitive advanced wastewater treatment technologies has never before been so important. Australia in particular has a need to develop new strategies for water management and will continue to move towards water reuse where such projects are shown to be financially viable. This paper d...

The Commercial Status of Membrane Bioreactors for Municipal Wastewater

Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactors (AnMBR) for Wastewater Treatment

This paper focuses on the recent research in the development of anaerobic membrane bioreactors in wastewater treatment. Anaerobic wastewater treatment technology is gaining increasing attention due to its capacity to convert wastewater BODs to usable biogas with relatively low energy consumption. The anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR), which is a combination of the anaerobic biological waste...

Application of sequencing batch membrane bioreactors (SB-MBR) for the treatment of municipal wastewater.

Sequencing batch membrane bioreactors can be a good option in up-grading small municipal plant and for industrial applications, maintaining some of the advantages of both original technologies (effluent quality improvement, flexibility and simplicity of realization, operation and control). In this study, the effects of volumetric exchange ratio (VER) and aeration/filtration strategy have been e...

Treatment of Industrial Wastewater by Membrane Bioreactors

Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs) have attracted a significant attention of scientists and engineers in the past two decades. Improvement of membrane technologies coupled with experiences gained from application of membranes in different industrial processes have opened a gamut of opportunities in industrial wastewater treatment. The solidliquid separation that is conventionally carried out in gravit...
