Question

comparison between moving bed-membrane bioreactor (mb-mbr) and membrane bioreactor (mbr) systems: influence of wastewater salinity variation

Answer 1

In particular, a membrane bioreactor (MBR) and a moving bed biofilm membrane bioreactor (MB-MBR) were analyzed. Carbon and ammonium removal, kinetic constants and membranes fouling rates have been assessed. Both plants showed very high efficiency in terms of carbon and ammonium removal and the gradual salinity increase led to a good acclimation of the biomass, as confirmed by the respirometric tests.
