2 Anaerobic membrane bioreactors: Basic process design and operation

Anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) is a relatively new technology for the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater, which has the potential to be a less energy-intensive alternative to the aerobic treatment processes. Particularly AnMBR has demonstrated its superiority over conventional anaerobic biological processes in terms of higher effluent quality for reuse and reclamation and decoupling of solids retention time from hydraulic …
