The evaluation of greenhouse gas emissions from sewage treatment with urbanization: Understanding the opportunities and challenges for climate change mitigation in China's low-carbon pilot city, Shenzhen.

TL;DR: In this paper , a combination of a life cycle analysis (LCA), data envelopment analysis (DEA), and questionnaire survey was used to evaluate sewage treatment related GHG emissions and assess the GHG emission reduction efficiencies during 2005-2020, as well as determine the opinions of environmental managers regarding the threats to climate change mitigation posed by sewage treatment in the low carbon pilot city of Shenzhen, China.

Characterization of the bubbly flow in a hollow fiber membrane bioreactor

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the aerator pore size on the bubble flow in xanthan gum solution, and the effect on the bubbly flow of using water as the continuous fluid and of the absence of the membrane module, conditions sometimes employed as model systems for MBRs.

Interaction of operating HRT and temperature on fouling of tertiary membranes treating municipal wastewater.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors quantify and demonstrate the interactions between SBR operating conditions (hydraulic retention time (HRT) and temperature) and soluble microbial product (SMP) generation, as well as the impact of SBR Operating conditions and filtration temperature on fouling of membranes used in tertiary treatment.

Baffled membrane bioreactor: Efficient nutrient removal, operational energy reduction, and modeling

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a baffled membrane bioreactor (BMBR) in which baffles are inserted in a submerged MBR, and the level of water in the reactor is controlled to facilitate simultaneous nitrification/denitrification without sludge recirculation.
