Micro-macro transition for numerical simulation of submerged membrane bioreactor

Comparison of the performance of submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR) and submerged membrane adsorption bioreactor (SMABR).

This study focuses on comparing the performance of submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR) and submerged membrane adsorption bioreactor (SMABR) over a period of 20 days at a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 3.1h. The effects of PAC on critical flux and membrane fouling were also investigated. The SMABR exhibited better results in terms of mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) growth, DOC removal (...

Development of Membrane Bioreactor to Membrane Electro-bioreactor for Advanced Treatment of Wastewater

Limited available water resources have rendered wastewater reuse an important issue to specialists in most developed countries, today. The current study works on membrane filtration for treatment of industrial wastewater. By comparing the two methods of membrane bioreactor (MBR) and hybrid membrane electro bioreactor (MEBR) processes, it finds that earlier fouling in the membrane occurs in the ...

Computer simulation of a submerged membrane bioreactor treating high COD industrial wastewater

*Correspondence: Nicolas Kalogerakis, School of Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Crete, Polytechneioupolis, Chania 73100, Greece e-mail: nicolas.kalogerakis@ enveng.tuc.gr A dynamic model was developed to simulate the behavior of the biological processes taking place in a membrane bioreactor (MBR) pilot plant treating industrial wastewater at the Heraklion Industrial Park incl...

Macro-micro Interlocked Simulation for Multiscale Phenomena

A new methodology for the simulation of multiscale processes, called Macro-Micro Interlocked (MMI) Simulation, is introduced. The MMI simulation is carried out by the two-way connection of different numerical models, which may handle macroscopic and microscopic dynamics, respectively. The MMI simulation are applied to several multiscale phenomena, for instance, cloud formation, gas detonation, ...
