Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor (AnMBR) for Sustainable Wastewater Treatment

Abstract

The primary objective of this pilot-scale project was to demonstrate and validate AnMBR technology for domestic wastewater treatment. Specific objectives associated with this project include: 1) demonstrate the effectiveness of AnMBR at treating screened domestic wastewater at temperatures above 10 deg C to produce high-quality, re-usable water; 2) demonstrate that AnMBR technology for domestic wastewater treatment can be operated in an energy-neutral manner; 3) compare cost and performance of gas-sparged and GAC-fluidized AnMBRs to conventional aerobic wastewater treatment systems; and 4) conduct a simplified lifecycle assessment of the technology in comparison to conventional technologies.
