Abstract:

Today, membrane bioreactors have been used extensively in the water and wastewater treatment industry due to their proper function. Thus, the study on them seems to be necessary. In this research, a brief description of the membrane bioreactor and its application is first given, and then the various types of fouling in the membrane bioreactor (MBR) are investigated. Membrane bioreactors have been used to make tubular membranes. Tubular membranes are susceptible to fouling due to their shape. The most important membrane fouling agents in the membrane bioreactor are biological materials. Biologi

Abstract:

Membrane bioreactors have been widely used in biological wastewater treatment. The membranes used in this type of technology are produced from organic or inorganic materials. However, membranes can also be formed from the deposition of solid particles, colloids, and polymeric materials, as well as microbial cells and flocs, on an inert support during the filtration process. When coupled to a bioreactor, they establish a unique system called a dynamic membrane bioreactor (DMBR). This type of bioreactor, while retaining the solids and microorganisms present in the system, removes both easy and d

Abstract:

The combination of membrane separation technology and bioreactors has lead to a new focus on wastewater treatment. The application of membranes has led to very compact wastewater treatment systems with an excellent effluent quality. For concentrated wastewaters, like industrial streams and landfill leachate the membrane bioreactor has been applied at full scale successfully. The relatively high energy requirements have hindered the wide spread application of membrane bioreactors.

Abstract:

Various fouling control methods were investigated for polymeric and ceramic microfiltration membranes in the anaerobic membrane bioreactors where inorganic precipitates and/or fine colloids have been recently known as the most significant foulants: (i) Substantial improvement of flux was achieved by backfeeding of acidic wastewater through the membrane module. The backfeeding mode formed an acidic environment around the membrane pores and thus suppressed struvite formation.

Abstract:

Results of investigations concerning membrane bioreactor aeration are presented which were carried out at the Institute of Environmental Engineering of RWTH Aachen University (ISA) in cooperation with the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Technische Universität Berlin. In the field of industrial and municipal wastewater treatment the use of membrane bioreactors (MBR) is of increasing interest especially due to the high requirements on effluent quality nowadays. The design of aeration systems is a very important aspect of MBR development because it influences both cost of operation and

Abstract:

This research investigated the effect of media fill ratio on membrane fouling in moving bed bioreactors-membrane bioreactor. The results shown the high removal of ammonia and COD, despite the membrane fouling conditions were really different in two bioreactors. The total modified fouling index (MFI) of IFAS 3000 was three times than MFI of IFAS 1500, and the soluble microbial products (SMP) present in the mixed liquor played an important role in the membrane fouling. No more correlation was found between the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) concentration and fouling, and the average SM

Abstract:

This review discusses bioreactor-based methods for industrial hydrocarbon-containing wastewater treatment using different (e.g., stirred-tank, membrane, packed-bed and fluidized-bed) constructions. Aerobic, anaerobic and hybrid bioreactors are becoming increasingly popular in the field of oily wastewater treatment, while high concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons usually require physico-chemical pre-treatments. Most efficient bioreactor techniques employ immobilized cultures of hydrocarbon-oxidizing microorganisms, either defined consortia or mixed natural populations. Some advantages of fl

Abstract:

A submerged flat metal MBR (membrane bioreactor) was used to treat synthetic domestic sewage in this study. The experiment was continued for 270 days and ran under two modes as AMBR (aerobic membrane bioreactor) and A/O-MBR (anoxic/aerobic membrane bioreactor) at a permeate flux of 0.4–1 m3/(m2 d). PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) gel beads were added to the aeration tank with a volume ratio of 10% at the end of the A/O-MBR mode. The mean COD and TN removal efficiencies achieved 96.69 and 32.12% under the AMBR mode, and those were 92.17 and 72.44% under the A/O-MBR mode, respectively. SND (simultaneous

Abstract:

A hydrogenotrophic denitrification system, which consisted of a sequencing batch membrane bioreactor, was evaluated for removal of nitrate from a synthetic groundwater feed. A hollow fiber microporous membrane diffuser was used for bubble-less diffusion of hydrogen into the bioreactor, and a membrane filter was used for separating the biomass from treated water. The nitrate loading of 0.328 kg N m−3 d−1 was completely denitrified to below detectable levels; however, inorganic fouling of both membrane filter and diffuser occurred. The increase in pH during denitrification caused inorganic preci

To alleviate the membrane fouling in membrane bioreactor, a kind of modified diatomite was used as anti-fouling agent to examine the effect on sludge properties in submerged membrane bioreactor for synthetic domestic wastewater treatment. Three submerged membrane bioreactor setups were operated under fixed membrane flux 21.9m3/m2·h, meanwhile, modified diatomite was added into each membrane bioreactor with dosage of 0mg/L, 1000mg/L and 2000mg/L respectively.

Abstract:

The membranes with immobilized enzymes have a double role, as a separation barrier and a biocatalyst. The membranes immobilize the enzymes in insoluble state by direct binding (e.g. covalent binding) or in soluble state, by adsorption at the separation surface, depending on the polymer nature and the membrane structure. The researches purpose was to emphasize the biocatalytic activity of a membrane-immobilized enzyme system. This paper relates the original results from the kinetic study of maltodextrine saccharification process. The dextrines are obtained by enzymatic hydrolise of starch with

Abstract:

This study investigated the effects of 2,4-dichlorophenol on reduction of activated sludge in membrane bioreactors. Significant inhibition on sludge growth and slight reduction in COD removal were observed at higher 2,4-dichlorophenol dosages. The deviation between relative specific COD removal rate (q/q0) and relative specific growth rate (μ/μ0) suggested that a minimum 2,4-dichlorophenol concentration was required for uncoupling of anabolism and catabolism. With the increase of the dosage of 2,4-dichlorophenol, stepwise improvement of biomass bioactivity and the reduction in activated sludge

Abstract:

Biofouling is the most challenging operational problem in membrane bioreactors. The goal of this study is to evaluate the foulants mechanism by profiling the foulants morphology in a membrane bioreactor treating actual sewage. A 10 m2 hollow fiber membrane was set up at MLSS of 9 g/L and HRT of 8 hours. CLSM and FESEM were used to characterize the membrane morphologies. The trans-membrane pressure was monitored, and membrane samples were analysed on weekly basis. The performance of the membrane bioreactor treating the actual sewage showed a remarkable result.
