Hydrodynamics in a membrane bioreactor

Abstract

Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs) are still viewed as a high-cost option due to its high operating cost incurred by aeration. Many studies have been carried out to reduce fouling on submerged MBRs surfaces to save operating costs. Enhancement of hydrodynamic conditions in the reactor is one of the effective approaches to mitigate fouling in MBRs.
