Municipal wastewater

The start-up of a pilot-scale membrane bioreactor equipped with submerged ultrafiltration membranes to treat municipal wastewater has been studied. Attention has been paid to determine membrane separation effects on biomass development in a reactor operated without inoculation. Moreover, the activat

A key element in the Aquarec project is the development of a water treatment matrix in which wastewater treatment process schemes are categorized as a function of the raw wastewater quality and the reuse application. Starting point is the definition of reuse applications; municipal wastewater can be

In this study, the coagulation process is evaluated in treatment of municipal wastewater on the basis of organic material (e.g. chemical oxygen demand, COD) and suspended solids (TSS) removal efficiency. Alum-coagulation was optimized on the samples (24 sampling campaigns) taken from 4 wastewater tr

Major municipal wastewater reclamation plants in California, USA, Singapore, and many built or planned for other regions of the world use the high pathogen reduction properties of microfiltration/ultrafiltration (MF/UF) membranes followed by reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. Operational experiences in

The main objective of this study is to investigate the reuse possibility of effluent from a vertical submerged membrane bioreactor (VSMBR) treating municipal wastewater. The average removal efficiencies of total chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (T-N), and total phosphorus (T-P) were 96,
