TLDR
Development of a biofilm-MBR has been investigated combining a moving-bed-biofilm reactor with a submerged membrane biomass separation reactor, and sustainable operation was found to correlate to the fate of the submicron particle size fraction throughout the treatment process.About:

From the conventional biological wastewater treatment to hybrid processes, the evaluation of organic micropollutant removal: A review.
Camille Grandclement,Isabelle Seyssiecq,Anne Piram,Pascal Wong-Wah-Chung,Guillaume Vanot,Nicolas Tiliacos,Nicolas Roche,Pierre Doumenq +7 more
TL;DR: Even though some hybrid processes show promising micropollutant removals, further studies are needed to optimize these water treatment processes, in particular in terms of technical and economical competitiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of salinity on the performance of high retention membrane bioreactors for water reclamation: A review
TL;DR: This paper aims to elucidate the important issues associated with the use of HRMBR systems under elevated salt conditions up to 50gL(-1), and identifies the salt concentration factor as an important operating parameter to be optimised in the HR MBR systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
To study the performance of biocarriers in moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) technology and kinetics of biofilm for retrofitting the existing aerobic treatment systems: a review
Anjali Barwal,Rubina Chaudhary +1 more
TL;DR: The moving bed biofilm reactor has proved to be effective in removing up to 90 % chemical oxygen demand and 95 % biochemical oxygen demand with nutrients from the effluent stream at optimum condition, provided there is sufficient retention time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison between a moving bed membrane bioreactor and a conventional membrane bioreactor on organic carbon and nitrogen removal
TL;DR: The specific oxygen utilization rate (SOUR) showed that the biofilm has a better microbial activity than an activated sludge, and the MBMBR system demonstrated good performance on nitrogen removal at different COD/TN ratios.
Journal ArticleDOI
Roles of polyurethane foam in aerobic moving and fixed bed bioreactors.
TL;DR: The results show that sponge thickness deteriorated the organic and nutrient removal and 1cm is the optimum thickness for fixed-bed sponge biofilter (SBF); sponge volume had significant impact on phosphorus removal rather than organic or nitrogen removal.

A new moving bed biofilm reactor - applications and results
TL;DR: In this paper, a new moving bed biofilm reactor has been developed in Norway, where the biomass is attached to carrier elements that move freely along with the water in the reactor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fouling characterisation in membrane bioreactors
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study has been performed using hollow fibers (pore size 0.1 μm) immersed in an aerated tank for treating synthetic wastewater representative of dairy effluent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical Water and Wastewater Treatment VIII
TL;DR: The Chemical Water and Wastewater Treatment Series provides authoritative coverage of the key current developments in the chemical treatment of water and wastewater in theory or practice and related problems such as sludge production and properties, and the reuse of chemicals and chemically-treated waters and sludges.

Floc size distribution in a membrane bioreactor and consequences for membrane fouling
C. Wisniewski,A. Grasmick +1 more
TL;DR: Underlining the role of shear stresses in the granulometric distribution of a biological suspension and in the mechanisms of membrane fouling reveals that these different soluble products and their interaction with the membrane material play a major role in the fouling mechanism.
