(MBR) Technology for Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation: Membrane Fouling
membranes Review Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Technology for Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation: Membrane Fouling Oliver Terna Iorhemen *, Rania Ahmed Hamza and Joo Hwa Tay Department of Civil Engineering, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB T2N 1N4, Canada; [email protected] (R.A.H.); [email protected] (J.H.T.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-403-714-7451 Academic Editor: Marco Stoller Received: 14 April 2016; Accepted: 12 June 2016; Published: 15 June 2016 Abstract: The membrane bioreactor (MBR) has emerged as an efficient compact technology for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. The major drawback impeding wider application of MBRs is membrane fouling, which significantly reduces membrane performance and lifespan, resulting in a significant increase in maintenance and operating costs. Finding sustainable membrane fouling mitigation strategies in MBRs has been one of the main concerns over the last two decades. This paper provides an overview of membrane fouling and studies conducted to identify mitigating strategies for fouling in MBRs. Classes of foulants, including biofoulants, organic foulants and inorganic foulants, as well as factors influencing membrane fouling are outlined. Recent research attempts on fouling control, including addition of coagulants and adsorbents, combination of aerobic granulation with MBRs, introduction of granular materials with air scouring in the MBR tank, and quorum quenching are presented. The addition of coagulants and adsorbents shows a significant membrane fouling reduction, but further research is needed to establish optimum dosages of the various coagulants/adsorbents. Similarly, the integration of aerobic granulation with MBRs, which targets biofoulants and organic foulants, shows outstanding filtration performance and a significant reduction in fouling rate, as well as excellent nutrients removal. -

Scholz 1 Comparison of novel membrane bioreactors and constructed wetlands for treatment of pre-processed animal rendering plant wastewater in Scotland The performance of a novel industrial membrane bioreactor (MBR) comprising denitrification, nitrification and ultrafiltration for the secondary treatment of primary treated animal rendering wastewater has been compared with an experimental, low-cost and novel vertical-flow constructed treatment wetland planted with Typha latifolia L. The process wastewater followed pre-treatment by dissolved air flotation (DAF). The DAF effluent gave highly variable chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia of 5200 (± 2050) and 490 (± 270) mg/l, respectively. The MBR effluent for COD and ammonia was 45 and 63 mg/l, respectively. The treatment performance of the constructed wetland for COD, ammonia and suspended solids was 167, 63 and 15 mg/l, respectively.
