Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) are becoming increasingly important in
the treatment of municipal wastewater. Compared to traditional
treatment techniques, MBR's require far smaller surface areas and
produce better effluent quality. This publication reports the
results and experiences of the first 16 months of operation and the
associated research programme of the first full-scale MBR in the
Netherlands which entered operation in December 2004. Detailed
results of the plants technical performance are presented together
with experience of optimising the processes. The design is
evaluated and design recommendations are presented. MBR set-up and
initialization costs are compared with those of conventional WWTPs.
The report confirms the suitability of MBR technology for the
treatment of municipal wastewater taking into account the technical
performance and cost considerations. This publication will be an
invaluable source of reference for all those concerned with the
treatment of municipal wastewater.
Recent technical innovations and significant cost reductions have
sharply increased the potential for using Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)
technology in municipal wastewater treatment. MBR technology
displays several advantages compared to the traditional activated
sludge processes, such as high effluent quality, limited space
requirement and with the possibility of a flexible and phased
extension of existing waste water treatment plants. Membrane
Bioreactors for Municipal Wastewater Treatment describes the
results of a comparative research programme involving four leading
membrane suppliers: Kubota (Japan), Mitsubishi (Japan), X-Flow
(Netherlands) and Zenon (Canada). Each supplier provided a pilot to
represent a suitable scale - right up to full scale. These pilots
were operated and optimised in the course of the research programme
to achieve the best operating window under different operating
regimes. The research focussed on the functionality of the
membrane, the biological treatment, membrane fouling, achieved
effluent quality, and system operability as well as other
factors.In a number of side studies the required pre-treatment,
membrane fouling/cleaning, energy usage, effluent quality and
sludge processing were also addressed. The comparative pilot
research was carried out by DHV Water on location at the wastewater
treatment plant at Beverwijk in the Netherlands. STOWA Report
