Evaluation of membrane fouling in a microalgal-bacterial membrane photobioreactor treating secondary wastewater effluent: effect of photoperiod conditions

Abstract

Microalgal-bacterial membrane photobioreactors (MPBRs) have emerged as a transformative wastewater treatment technology for reducing carbon emissions whilst achieving high quality effluent. However, membrane fouling negatively affects process performance by increasing...

Emerging trends in membrane-based wastewater treatment: electrospun nanofibers and reticular porous adsorbents as key components

“…E. Segredo-Morales et al observed the effect of photoperiod on the efficacy of a membrane bioreactor (MBR), specifically membrane fouling. 342 Excellent amounts of biomass concentration (3.21 ± 0.45 g L −1 ) and nutrient elimination rates (4.71 mg N L −1 d −1 and 0.67 mg P L −1 d −1 , respectively) were attained under a moderate photoperiod of 16/8 h.…”
