Microbial characteristics in anaerobic membrane bioreactor treating domestic sewage: Effects of HRT and process performance

Jialing Ni et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT) on the microbial communities in two anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) with different membrane pore sizes. The results showed that the composition of the microbial communities changed with HRT, and the relative abundance of certain bacterial groups was proportional to biogas production performance. The study also suggested that the population of hydrogenotrophic methanogens or Anaerolineae can serve as indicators for process monitoring. Furthermore, both HRT and process stability were found to be important factors for maintaining microbial community structures.

Effect of Initial Water Flux on the Performance of Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor: Constant Flux Mode versus Varying Flux Mode

Xiawen Yi et al.

Summary: Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) have attracted increasing interest for wastewater treatment and energy recovery. A novel membrane fouling mitigation strategy through optimizing initial water flux was proposed, and it was found that varying flux mode significantly prolonged membrane operating time by mitigating fouling. The mechanism of fouling mitigation was revealed to be the reduced interaction between foulants and membrane surface in low flux stage, leading to a thinner and looser fouling layer which could be further reduced in subsequent high flux stage.
