TL;DR: It was shown that even without dosing of an external carbon source, denitrification rates much above endogenous rates could be obtained in post-denitrification systems, and the anaerobic reactor located ahead of the process had a positive impact on the DNR.

TL;DR: In this article, the results of a bench-scale investigation on Bio-P removal in a membrane bioreactor (MBR) were presented, and the results showed that enhanced biological phosphorus removal (Bio-P) is possible in MBR.

TL;DR: High P-removal performances were achieved even with high SRT of 26 d, as around 9 mgP/L could be reliably removed, and the sludge exhibited phosphorus contents of around 2.4%TS, making it well suited to agricultural reuse with important fertilising values.

TL;DR: The objective of this research project is to identify and test various phosphorus removal processes or process combinations, including MBR technologies, to establish efficient and cost effective P-removal strategies for upgrading small sewage treatment units, as needed in some decentralised areas of Berlin.

TL;DR: A membrane bioreactor (MBR) bench-scale plant was operated under two different enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) configurations, characterised by pre- and post-denitrification mode, which revealed a significant amount of P-removal was due to adsorption and precipitation.
