Polymeric membrane flat sheets as well as hollow fibres are widely used in membrane bioreactors in order to separate biologically cleaned water from suspended solids. The polysulfone (PS) flat sheet and polyethersulfone (PES) hollow fibre membranes have been chosen for characterization and to invest

Hollow fibres used in membrane filtration units submerged into the biological stage of a municipal wastewater treatment plant, so-called membrane bioreactors (MBR), are investigated in terms of pore structure, membrane morphology, and membrane material characteristics. In order to reduce production

In the framework of the international project “Integrated Concepts for Water Reuse” (Aquarec), an independent task-force composed by water and wastewater utilities professionals, consultants and researchers was assigned the task and produced a manual of management practices for water reuse schemes.

Throughout the world, water scarcity is being recognised as a present or future threat to human activity and as a consequence, a definite trend to develop alternative water resources such as desalination can be observed. The most commonly used desalination technologies are reverse osmosis (RO) and t
