Abstract: | Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology is widely accepted today for wastewater treatment providing superior effluent quality, opportunities for water reuse, smaller footprint, and better process control. In the following paper, the development and application of hollow fibre submerged membrane modules in Membrane Bioreactors will be discussed. Early MBR systems used tubular cross flow micro-filtration (MF) or ultra-filtration (UF) membrane modules but the huge energy demand for cross flow technology limited it to heavily polluted niche applications. In the late 80’s the development of submerged membrane technology reduced the energy consumption by using aeration to induce a cross flow and withdrawing purified water by slight vacuum allowing the adoption of MBR technology to more conventional applications. Based upon the m2 of membrane area sold/used worldwide, hollow fibre membrane technology is today the most successful submerged MBR technology. |
