Development of a high-rate submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor
Abstract
Typically, anaerobic membrane bioreactors are operated at an organic loading rate (OLR) less than 10 kg chemical oxygen demand (COD)/m3 d. This paper discusses the development and performance of a high-rate submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor (SAnMBR) for a high-strength synthetic industrial wastewater treatment. An OLR as high as 41 kg COD/m3 d was achieved with excellent COD removal efficiency (>99%). The membrane was operated at constant …
