Operating condition

This paper quantifies the influence of operating conditions on the efficiency of domestic wastewater treatment and of membrane bioreactors (MBR) performance with a statistical method (multivariate linear regression model). The impact of the following seven parameters—(1) transmembrane pressure (TMP)

Based on the assumption that the variation rate of average thickness of the deposition layer is proportional to the difference in the masses of solutes brought to the membrane surface by the bulk fluid flow and the solutes removed from the membrane surface by the shear rate of the tangential flow, a

Many industrial wastewater streams contain toxic metal cations, for example, Ni2+, Zn2+, etc. or their oxyanions in up to few hundred mg/dm3, which must be removed before water recycling or discharging directly into surface waters. The conventional processes to treat this kind of wastewater are, e.g

The main problem in treating oil in water emulsions by membrane technologies is fouling caused by oil adsorption on the membrane surface. Among these technologies, microfiltration has been used in many fields of oil–water emulsions. The effect of operating conditions on a microfilter (home made) wit
