Biomass effects on oxygen transfer in membrane bioreactors [PDF]
Ten biomass samples from both municipal and industrial pilot and full scale submerged membrane bioreactors (MBRs) with mixed liquor suspended solids concentrations (MLSS) ranging from 7.2 to 30.2 g L−1 were studied at six air-flow rates (0.7, 1.3, 2.3, 3,

The determination and origin of fibre clogging in membrane bioreactors [PDF]
Membrane channel clogging in membrane bioreactors (MBRs) has been largely unexplored by the research community, despite it being widely recognised as the main impediment to sustainable MBR operation by practitioners, and reflects the difficulty of ...

FLOCCULATION BIOREACTORS [PDF]
One of the main goals of bioprocess engineering is to increase the productivity of biotechnological processes and a vigorous progress has been observed in that field over the last decades. Fermentation based processes are not an exception and, in order to achieve those objectives, techniques such as the use of high cell density systems have been ...

Dynamical Modelling and Simulation of Waste water Filtration Process by Submerged Membrane Bioreactors [PDF]
A mathematical model was developed for the filtration process and the influence of aeration on Submerged Membrane Bioreactors. The dynamics of sludge attachment to and detachment from the membrane, in relation to the filtration and a strong intermittent ...

Effect of cytostatic drug presence on extracellular polymeric substances formation in municipal wastewater treated by membrane bioreactor [PDF]
The effect of the cyclophosphamide and its mean metabolites on extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) formation was investigated. Two lab-scale membrane bioreactors were followed in parallel (one with the cytostatic drugs, the second without ...

Numerical study of substrate assimilation by a microorganism exposed to fluctuating concentration [PDF]
In most modelling works on bioreactors, the substrate assimilation is computed from the volume average concentration. The possible occurrence of a competition between the transport of substrate towards the cell and the assimilation at the cell level is ...
