“…According to Lin et al (2011) the energy consumed by gas scouring accounted for the largest percentage of operating costs, followed by the membrane tank sludge feed pump, which accounted for 43% (approx. 0.09 kWh·m -3 in absolute terms).…”

Elsevier Pretel, R.; Robles Martínez, Á.; Ruano García, MV.; Seco Torrecillas, A.;Ferrer, J. (2013) AbstractThe objective of this study was to assess the environmental impact of a submerged anaerobic MBR (SAnMBR) system in the treatment of urban wastewater at different temperatures: ambient temperature (20 and 33 ºC), and a controlled temperature (33 ºC). To this end, an overall energy balance (OEB) and life cycle assessment (LCA), both based on real process data, were carried out. Four factors were considered in this study: (1) energy consumption during wastewater treatment; (2) energy recovered from biogas capture; (3) potential recovery of nutrients from the final effluent; and (4) sludge disposal. The OEB and LCA showed SAnMBR to be a promising technology for treating urban wastewater at ambient temperature (OEB = 0.19 kWh·m -3 ). LCA results reinforce the importance of maximising the recovery of nutrients (environmental impact in eutrophication can be reduced up to 45%) and dissolved methane (positive environmental impact can be obtained) from SAnMBR effluent.

“…The three membrane types considered in this study were hollow fiber (HF), 24,31,35,37,40 flat sheet (FS), 25,36,38,41 and multi-tube (MT). 47,67 While FS membranes can be used in either configuration, in full-scale systems HF or MT membranes are generally restricted to submerged or cross-flow configurations, respectively.…”

The micro-brewery business has been subjected to rapid growth within the last decade.Most brewers are facing expensive wastewater compliance bills and are seeking reliable on-site treatment methods. Anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) treatment is favorable to the widely used upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) method. It offers high quality effluent free of solids, and has great stabilities under loading shocks. To date, there have been limited submerged AnMBR studies and none have been conducted on brewery wastewater. In this research, a state-of-the-art AnMBR laboratory scale system was used to investigate the performance and capability. The system was subjected to 230 days continuous operation with both synthetic and real brewery wastewater at organic loading rates (OLRs) ranging from 2 to 11.5 kg COD/m 3 /day. While the system demonstrated an excellent biological performance, the study found that the major limitation of AnMBR was the membrane fouling, which increased with the OLR and soluble microbial products (SMPs) in the mixed liquor.iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
