Removal of micropollutants from municipal wastewater by membrane bioreactors: Conventional membrane versus dynamic membrane

Onur Isik et al.

Summary: This study investigated the fate of micropollutants in a membrane bioreactor with dynamic membrane and ultrafiltration membrane for the treatment of raw municipal wastewater. High removal efficiencies of total suspended solids, chemical oxygen demand, and micropollutants were achieved with each membrane. Morphological analyses were conducted to gain insight into the cake layer accumulated on the membrane, showing that dynamic membrane technology provides an effective alternative for micropollutant removal from municipal wastewater.

A review on membrane fouling control in anaerobic membrane bioreactors by adding performance enhancers

Weonjung Sohn et al.

Summary: Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) combine anaerobic digestion with membrane technology, offering advantages such as biogas production and potential energy use. However, membrane fouling is a persistent issue that can be mitigated by using fouling reduction enhancers like adsorbents and flocculants. Activated carbon and other enhancers have been applied to AnMBRs to control fouling and promote flocculation and coagulation. This review discusses the impacts and mechanisms of different fouling reduction enhancers in AnMBRs.

One-year operation of a 20-L submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor for real domestic wastewater treatment at room temperature: Pursuing the optimal HRT and sustainable flux

Jiayuan Ji et al.

Summary: A 20 L hollow-fiber submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor (SAnMBR) was used to treat real domestic wastewater with varying HRTs. The study found that organic removal efficiency was good at HRTs between 6 and 12 h, but also acceptable at 4 h, albeit with lower biogas production and higher sludge yield. Controlling GSV and MLSS can decrease fouling rate and achieve sustainable operation.
