Gravity-driven membrane bioreactors (GD-MBR) have been proposed as a sustainable water treatment due to the low energy requirements in terms of operation. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of different physical cleaning strategies on the membrane performance in a gravity-driven membrane bioreactor treating primary wastewater. The Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) allowed… Continue reading Fouling control in a gravity-driven membrane (GDM) bioreactor treating primary wastewater by using relaxation and/or air scouring
Presence of organic micropollutants (OMP) in wastewater has become an emerging concern due to OMP’s bioaccumulation capacity in the aquatic environment and their harmful effects. As a result, numerous processes have been explored as alternatives to conventional activated sludge (CAS) to address OMP removal. Among these, membrane bioreactor (MBR) has become a promising option due… Continue reading Advanced membrane bioreactors for emerging contaminant removal and quorum sensing control
Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) are a well established and mature technology with many full-scale plants around the world treating municipal and industrial wastewater (Krzeminski et al. in J. Membr. Sci. 527:207–227, 2017). © Springer International Publishing AG 2018.
