Description: A Practitioner's Perspective on the Design of Large Membrane Bioreactor Facilities
A Practitioner's Perspective on the Design of Large Membrane Bioreactor Facilities
Abstract
Since the first full-scale municipal membrane bioreactor (MBR) plant commissioned in 1999, the number and capacity of MBR facilities worldwide has steadily increased. There are now more than 8000 MBR plants, the largest of which is 800 million liters per day. Design of large MBR plants has several special considerations that are discussed in this paper. These considerations include designing for energy efficiency, designing for good mixed liquor filterability, achieving even flow split to membrane tanks, handling peak flows economically, and meeting intense aeration requirements.
