The forward osmosis membrane bioreactor: A low fouling alternative to MBR processes
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel osmotic membrane bioreactor (OsMBR) is presented, which utilizes a submerged forward osmosis (FO) membrane module inside a bioreactors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Membrane Fouling in Membrane Bioreactors for Wastewater Treatment
TL;DR: Establishing a general model to describe membrane fouling in such a process is made extremely difficult by the inherent heterogeneity of the biomass matrix, which is highly heterogeneous and includes living microorganisms.

Effects of aeration on suction pressure in a submerged membrane bioreactor
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effect of aeration on cake removal and suction pressure using a pilot-scale submerged MBR and concluded that aeration was a significant factor governing the filtration conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Stability of Activated Sludge Flocs with Implications to Dewatering
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that Ca2+ can be extracted from activated sludge from a plant with biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal either by an ion exchange process, where H+, Na+, K+ or Mg2+ served as counter ions, or by chelation by EGTA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immersed membrane activated sludge for the reuse of municipal wastewater
TL;DR: The results of two pilot studies of an immersed membrane activated sludge process are presented in this paper, which involves coupling a bioreactor with effluent separation by microfiltration hollow fibres immersed directly in the bioreactors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microfiltration of activated sludge using submerged membrane with air bubbling (application to wastewater treatment)
TL;DR: In this article, the results obtained using hollow fiber microfiltration membranes directly immersed in the bioreactor were obtained using short-term and long-erm experiments successively, with shortterm experiments, which were the limit of steady operation, were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Household Membrane Bioreactor in Domestic Wastewater Treatment
TL;DR: In this article, the activated sludge process coupled with hollow fiber membrane for solid-liquid separation was applied to treat low strength domestic wastewater, and good stability of the process was achieved which was shown by the consistency in treated water quality.
