“…As a result, high-quality product water, with TOC < 3 mg/L, NH4 + -N < 1 mg/L, TN < 1 mg/L and TP not detected, were achieved in both PRO-MBR and FO-MBR. Overall, the contaminants removal performance of the PRO-MBR was comparable with that of FO-MBR, and consistent with previous reports on the osmotic MBRs for treating municipal wastewater (Qiu et al, 2016;Vinardell et al, 2021). PRO-MBR (same as FO-MBR) combines the biodegradation and bioconversion effects of bioreactor with the high retention effect of FO membrane, by which high-efficiency pollutants removal was achieved and highquality water recovery can be guaranteed.…”

Biogas Production in AnMBRs via Treatment of Municipal and Domestic Wastewater: Opportunities and Fouling Mitigation Strategies

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In recent years, significant progress has been achieved in developing the potential of anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs). The present paper presents a comprehensive review of studies focused on biogas production via the treatment of municipal and domestic wastewater with the use of such technology. The main aim of the current work was to evaluate the impact of operating parameters on the biogas production yield. Moreover, the possibilities of applying various fouling mitigation strategies have been discussed in detail. Analyses have been performed and reported in the literature, which were conducted with the use of submerged and external AnMBRs equipped with both polymeric and ceramic membranes. It has been shown that, so far, the impact of the hydraulic retention time (HRT) on biogas yield is ambiguous. This finding indicates that future studies on this issue are required. In addition, it was demonstrated that temperature has a positive impact on process performance. However, as presented in the literature, investigations have been carried out mainly under psychrophilic and mesophilic conditions. Hence, performing further experimental studies at temperatures above 40 °C is highly recommended. Moreover, it has been shown that in order to restore the initial permeate flux, a combination of several membrane cleaning methods is often required. The findings presented in the current study may be particularly important for the determination of operating conditions and suitable fouling mitigation strategies for laboratory-scale and pilot-scale AnMBRs used for biogas production via the treatment of municipal and domestic conditions.

“…The concentrated wastewater can potentially be treated by anaerobic treatment with enhanced biogas (CH 4 ) production (Amy et al., 2017). For example, the methane yield of an AnMBR could progressively increase from 214 to 322 mL-CH4 /g-COD when the pre-concentration factor of domestic wastewater by FO increased from 1 to 10 (Vinardell et al, 2021).…”

Pathways to Water Sector Decarbonization, Carbon Capture and Utilization

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The water sector is in the middle of a paradigm shift from focusing on treatment and meeting discharge permit limits to integrated operation that also enables a circular water economy via water reuse, resource recovery, and system level planning and operation. While the sector has gone through different stages of such revolution, from improving energy efficiency to recovering renewable energy and resources, when it comes to the next step of achieving carbon neutrality or negative emission, it falls behind other infrastructure sectors such as energy and transportation. The water sector carries tremendous potential to decarbonize, from technological advancements, to operational optimization, to policy and behavioural changes. This book aims to fill an important gap for different stakeholders to gain knowledge and skills in this area and equip the water community to further decarbonize the industry and build a carbon-free society and economy. The book goes beyond technology overviews, rather it aims to provide a system level blueprint for decarbonization. It can be a reference book and textbook for graduate students, researchers, practitioners, consultants and policy makers, and it will provide practical guidance for stakeholders to analyse and implement decarbonization measures in their professions.
