Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) for Municipal Wastewater Treatment – An Australian Perspective
نویسنده
چکیده
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 discusses the Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) process and its suitability for Australian water reuse applications.

متن کاملMembrane Technology in Wastewater Treatment: Tertiary Membrane Filtration (tmf) Systems, an Economically Attractive Alternative to Membrane Bioreactors (mbr)
The use of membranes for treating wastewater is now widespread. Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have rapidly emerged as a key technology for both industrial and municipal wastewater treatment due to their ability to deliver high final effluent water quality and their relatively small footprint as compared to a conventional Activated Sludge (AS) process. The costs of MBRs have fallen by almost a fac...
متن کاملMunicipal Wastewater Treatment Using a Hollow Fiber Membrane Bioreactor
A bioreactor equipped with hollow fiber microfiltration membranes was applied for wastewater treatment. Removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) was investigated. The experimental setup consisted of influent and effluent tanks, and membrane modules using Polyvinyl Di–Fluoride (PVDF) hollow fibers. The operation program included suction and backwash...
متن کاملMolecular-based detection of potentially pathogenic bacteria in membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems treating municipal wastewater: a case study
Although membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems provide better removal of pathogens compared to conventional activated sludge processes, they do not achieve total log removal. The present study examines two MBR systems treating municipal wastewater, one a full-scale MBR plant and the other a lab-scale anaerobic MBR. Both of these systems were operated using microfiltration (MF) polymeric membranes. ...
