Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation of EPS content in activated sludge at different sludge retention times with membrane fouling phenomena
Djamila Al-Halbouni,Jacqueline Traber,Sven Lyko,Thomas Wintgens,Thomas Melin,Daniela Tacke,Andreas Janot,Wolfgang Dott,Juliane Hollender +8 more
TL;DR: Floc-bound EPS and metals were suggested to play a role in the fouling process at the full-scale MBR and this was confirmed by the pilot-scale study, however, despite the different sludge properties, the permeability of membranes was found to be similar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term monitoring of a full-scale municipal membrane bioreactor—Characterisation of foulants and operational performance
Sven Lyko,Thomas Wintgens,Djamila Al-Halbouni,Sven Baumgarten,Daniela Tacke,Kinga Drensla,Andreas Janot,Wolfgang Dott,Johannes Pinnekamp,Thomas Melin +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a full-scale municipal membrane bioreactor (MBR) in Kaarst/Germany has been monitored and sampled for approximately 2 years, in addition to operational data for the membrane and the bioreactors and an expanded set of water and sludge quality parameters, analytical data for dissolved and colloidal substances were collected and analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymeric compounds in activated sludge supernatant -- Characterisation and retention mechanisms at a full-scale municipal membrane bioreactor.
Sven Lyko,Djamila Al-Halbouni,Thomas Wintgens,Andreas Janot,Juliane Hollender,Wolfgang Dott,Thomas Melin +6 more
TL;DR: It was found that Fe(2+) and Fe(3+) play a decisive role in natural organic matter (NOM) complexation and subsequent membrane blockage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of extra-cellular polymeric substances on the filterability of activated sludge in membrane bioreactors for landfill leachate treatment
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of extra-cellular polymeric substances (EPS), especially dissolved polysaccharides, on the filterability of activated sludge, was investigated, where samples were taken from full-scale membrane bioreactors of landfill leachate treatment plants and two municipal treatment plants (full scale and pilot).
Journal ArticleDOI
Estrogenic trace contaminants in wastewater — possibilities of membrane bioreactor technology
TL;DR: The membrane bioreactor process was considered with respect to possibilities of the membrane unit to enhance the rejection of selected estrogenic trace contaminants for municipal wastewater treatment and landfill leachate treatment.
