SRT

Fouling is still one of the major issues of the membrane bioreactor (MBR) research. Most attention is currently paid to extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in either bound or soluble/colloidal (soluble microbial products, SMP) form. While several trends or correlations were reported, the compar

In this work, modelling of a submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR) system for municipal wastewater treatment is evaluated using ASM1 and ASM3 models. Dynamic data (and pseudo steady state) collected in an aerobic SMBR working at high sludge retention time (SRT) are considered. Work is focused on susp

In this paper the effect of different SRT on the performances of an ultrafiltration pilot MBR operating with real wastewaters was tested to analyse both the ability of the system to remove nutrients and micropollutants and the possible decrease in waste sludge production. Increasing MLSS from 4 to 9
