abstract

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 steps which were lasted three and one minutes, respectively. the performance of mbr was monitored for a period of 120 days. the average removal for cod and bod5 was over 99.5% and 88.9%, respectively. results indicated that the mbr system can be applied to treat high–strength wastewaters. also, it may have sustainable performance during the quantity fluctuations of influent wastewater.

Hollow Fiber Membrane Bioreactor for COD Biodegradation of Tapioca Wastewater

The present work studied the application of membrane bioreactor (MBR) for tapioca wastewater processing that contained chemical oxygen demand (COD) ranging from 4000-9000 mg/L. A preliminary study was initially conducted in order to evaluate membrane performance with respect to its flux with MLSS concentration ranging from 4,500 to 10,500 mg/L. It was clear that fouling was observed during the ...

Efficient treatment of baker’s yeast wastewater using aerobic membrane bioreactor

A membrane bioreactor (MBR) system based on a dead-end immersed hollow fiber membrane and filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae were used for treatment of baker’s yeast wastewater. The fungus was adapted to the wastewater in the bioreactor for two weeks before starting the continuous process. Average organic loading rate of 4.2 kg COD/m3.d was entered the bioreactor. MBR system was able to redu...
