TL;DR: A comparative performance rate analysis of the MABR in terms of its application for carbonaceous pollutant removal, nitrification/denitrification and xenobiotic biotreatment is provided.

TL;DR: A 60-L membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) was successfully employed to treat landfill leachate, which contained very high concentrations of refractory chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonium as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The results show that unless the carbon substrate concentration is particularly high, there does not appear to be an advantage to be gained by designing MABRs on the basis of thick biofilms even if oxygen limitations can be overcome.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the system response characteristics of different electrolyzers and found that the thermal response time of the electrolyzers influenced the hydrogen output in the Irish network and showed that the high thermal response times in a HTE caused a maximum change in the overall flowrate of 657% between the four scenarios, when compared to 77% in the LTE.

TL;DR: The study demonstrated the potential of MABR for treating wastewater streams contaminated with organofluorine compounds and showed that while fluoroacetate does not penetrate the entire biofilm, the defluorination intermediate metabolite glycolate does, and consequently the biofilm was not carbon limited at theBiofilm-membrane interface where oxygen concentrations were highest.
