A Preliminary Diagnostic Method for Membrane Fouling Using Extracellular Proteins Secreted in Pilot-Scale Membrane Bioreactors
Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) are advanced tools for biological wastewater treatment to obtain high-quality treated water using ultrafiltration or microfiltration membranes for solid–liquid separation2). Despite their advantages over the conventional activated sludge method, a major challenge associated with the use of MBRs is membrane fouling, which involves the clogging of membrane pores due to...
متن کاملEffect of Concentration of Cations on Activated Sludge Properties and Membrane Fouling in Membrane Bioreactors for Wastewater Treatment
This paper presents the results of an investigation on the effects of concentration of cations on activated sludge properties and membrane fouling in submerge membrane bioreactors. The working volume of the experimental setup was two liters. The cellulose acetate membrane was immersed in the bioreactor. The flocculability, settling properties and fouling propensity of activated sludge was measu...
متن کاملSeasonal variation in membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors (MBRs) treating municipal wastewater.
We investigated seasonal variation in membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors (MBRs) treating municipal wastewater regarding the difference between physically reversible and irreversible fouling. Two separate MBRs with different solid retention times (SRTs) operated in parallel for about 200 days including high- and low-temperature periods to evaluate the effect of operating conditions on seas...
متن کاملMembrane filtration device for studying compression of fouling layers in membrane bioreactors
A filtration devise was developed to assess compressibility of fouling layers in membrane bioreactors. The system consists of a flat sheet membrane with air scouring operated at constant transmembrane pressure to assess the influence of pressure on resistance of fouling layers. By fitting a mathematical model, three model parameters were obtained; a back transport parameter describing the kinet...
متن کاملEffects of salinity on the characteristics of biomass and membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors.
This study investigated the effects of high salinity on the performance and membrane fouling of membrane bioreactor (MBR) with saline wastewater. Synthetic wastewaters containing 5-20 g/L salts (NaCl) were treated in identical lab-scale (7 L) MBRs monitoring removals of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and ammonia. Increase in salt concentrations did not significantly change the removal efficienc...
