Pharmaceutical Industry Wastewater Treatment Using MABR

Abstract

Teva, a global pharmaceuticals company, was exploring alternatives for improving TN removal in its treatment plants. MABR was selected for onsite lab testing with real wastewater. Results show that nitrificatin rate is lower than for municipal wastewater but sufficient for the plant, and that simultaneous nitrification and denitrification can be obtained to achieve the TN removal goals. Optimal C/N for SND was determined experimentally, and NGS was used to characterize the abundance of nitrifying bacteria in the MABR compared to the existing process.

The following conference paper was presented at WEFTEC 2021, October 16-20, 2021. To read the full abstract, see "Abstract" tab below.
