Anaerobic biological wastewater treatment has numerous advantages over conventional aerobic processes; anaerobic biotechnologies, however, still have a reputation for low-quality effluents and operational instabilities. In this study, anaerobic bioreactors were augmented with an oxygen-transferring membrane to improve treatment performance. Two anaerobic bioreactors were fed a synthetic high-st...

Background: Application of membrane technology to wastewater treatment has expanded over the last decades due to increasingly stringent legislation, greater opportunities for water reuse/recycling processes and continuing advancement in membrane technology. Objectives: In the present study, a bench-scale submerged microfiltration membrane bioreactor (MBR) was used to assess the treatment of tex...

The anaerobic treatment of wastewater from the household and personal products industry was studied using a 16.3 L hybrid reactor (UASB and biofilter). The top of the UASB reactor was filled with coconut shells to act as the support material for the biofilter. The wastewater was characterized in terms of pH (1.0 – 12.0), COD (1,000 – 5,000 mg/L), BOD5 (700 – 1,500 mg/L), chloride (55 – 850 mg/L...

introductioncurrently, treated industrial wastewater is discharged to the environment in most industrial towns in iran. it is, however, a potential water resource for produce industrial process water. for reach this reuse application, further treatment would be needed. nowadays membrane separation processes are becoming quite popular in wastewater treatment and reclamation, since they combine p...

Continuous production of nisin in laboratory media and whey permeate was investigated using a packed-bed bioreactor. Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis ATCC 11454 was immobilized by natural attachment to fibre surfaces and entrapment in the void volume within spiral wound fibrous matrix. The inoculated bioreactor was fed M17 medium and effect of pH, temperature, dilution rate, and substrate conce...

background: considering the toxic effects of heavy metals and microbial pathogens in industrial wastewaters, it is necessary to treat metal and microbial contaminated wastewater prior to disposal in the environment. the purpose of this study is to assess the removal of heavy metals pollution and microbial contamination from a mixture of municipal and industrial wastewater using membrane bioreac...

A combined approach of treating domestic wastewater using microbial fuel cell (MFC) and membrane bioreactor (MBR) has been developed as a promising and reliable technology of wastewater treatment. Treatment of wastewater in a single stage MFC has limitation to achieve the required treatment efficiency and utilize the effluent for irrigation or any other possible reuse without further treatment....
