This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topic of membrane performance and fouling in a membrane bioreactor system (MBR) has been extensively researched. Many approaches have been employed to explore the mechanisms behind fouling and how to control it. While a very well-studied topic, the vast majority of published results are based on lab-scale or small pilot-scale systems using synthetic wastewater. Very few studies have looked at the ability to scale the results of these studies to apply at full-scale. Use of real wastewater and testing at larger scales has been extremely limited. In an effort to close this fundamental research gap, a multi-year study on the impact system scale has on the short term membrane performance and fouling in MBR systems was conducted. Four systems of increasing size from a lab-scale system to a full-scale 3.0 million gallon/day plant were used to conduct the study. All four systems operated with municipal wastewater and used the same hollow fibre membrane. The applicability of scaling the results of small systems was explored by introducing a new evaluation approach using the difference in the ratio of solid mass flux (SMF) handled by the membranes to the amount of air mass flux (AMF) introduced to control membrane fouling. Recommendations on how to use small system data were proposed based on the findings. The impact key membrane module operational and design parameters have on fouling were also examined. The novel SMF to AMF analysis was applied to allow for comparison of results and helped determine which changes could lead to the best performance optimization. Finally, an Excel® based model capable of predicting lifecycle costs for MBR systems was developed. The model was found to be useful in predicting costs for up to six membrane products simultaneously. The impact of membrane design and operational parameters on lifecycle costs was explored using three similar products. The analysis included the impact of key operational and design parameters over a wide range of plant flow capacities. Results show that product properties and operational parameters can have a larger than expected impact on the lifecycle costs of a system.

This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent technical innovations and significant cost reductions have sharply increased the potential for using Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology in municipal wastewater treatment. MBR technology displays several advantages compared to the traditional activated sludge processes, such as high effluent quality, limited space requirement and with the possibility of a flexible and phased extension of existing waste water treatment plants. Membrane Bioreactors for Municipal Wastewater Treatment describes the results of a comparative research programme involving four leading membrane suppliers: Kubota (Japan), Mitsubishi (Japan), X-Flow (Netherlands) and Zenon (Canada). Each supplier provided a pilot to represent a suitable scale - right up to full scale. These pilots were operated and optimised in the course of the research programme to achieve the best operating window under different operating regimes. The research focussed on the functionality of the membrane, the biological treatment, membrane fouling, achieved effluent quality, and system operability as well as other factors. In a number of side studies the required pre-treatment, membrane fouling/cleaning, energy usage, effluent quality and sludge processing were also addressed. The comparative pilot research was carried out by DHV Water on location at the wastewater treatment plant at Beverwijk in the Netherlands.

The Erftverband was one of the pioneers in the full scale application of the technology regularly hosted training and information workshops for plant designers and operators from all over the world. Operating Large Scale Membrane Bioreactors for Municipal Wastewater Treatment provides hands-on information on many aspects of MBR technology based on more than ten years of practical experience in the operation of MBR plants with hollow-fiber microfiltration units. It gives details on process configuration, investment and operation costs based on case studies and also in comparison to data from conventional activated sludge (CAS) treatment processes. The book contains the most recent research findings as Erftverband has been collaborating on many of the major European research projects dedicated to MBR technology. Actual process data from all treatment steps of the plants (mechanical pre-treatment, bioreactors, filtration, membrane cleaning) gives an insight into the long-term performance of the MBR plants and into the possible do’s and dont's of full scale applications and the potential for further process optimisation. It is a good source of practical advice on tendering and construction, plant management and operation. Operating Large Scale Membrane Bioreactors for Municipal Wastewater Treatment is essential reading for practitioners and researchers, providing information on many aspects of MBR technology, including actual process data, graphs and pictures that illustrate the challenges of MBR design and operation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) are becoming increasingly important in the treatment of municipal wastewater. Compared to traditional treatment techniques, MBR’s require far smaller surface areas and produce better effluent quality. This publication reports the results and experiences of the first 16 months of operation and the associated research programme of the first full-scale MBR in the Netherlands which entered operation in December 2004. Detailed results of the plants technical performance are presented together with experience of optimising the processes. The design is evaluated and design recommendations are presented. MBR set-up and initialization costs are compared with those of conventional WWTPs. The report confirms the suitability of MBR technology for the treatment of municipal wastewater taking into account the technical performance and cost considerations. This publication will be an invaluable source of reference for all those concerned with the treatment of municipal wastewater.
