Evaluation of the Factors that Impact Successful Membrane Biological Reactor Operations at High Solids Concentration

Abstract

Evaluation of the Factors that Impact Successful Membrane Biological Reactor Operations at High Solids ConcentrationThe use of Membrane Bioreactors in wastewater systems is rapidly growing, driven largely by significant advantages such as smaller footprint, lower sludge yield, good effluent quality and enhanced Nutrient removal that their deployment brings to wastewater treatment operations. Although these systems can theoretically be operated at solids concentrations as high as 30-40 g/L MLSS, in practice,...Author(s)Malcolm E.
