To avoid the limitations of single biofouling control methods, this study proposed the synergistic therapy of quorum quenching (QQ) and traditional but essential physical cleanings (i.e., backwashing and gas sparging) to cost-effectively manage membrane biofouling of anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs). QQ reduced content of proteins in the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of suspended biomass (solid… Continue reading Significance of integrated therapy of biological and physical cleaning for biofouling control and energy saving in AnMBRs
