Biological design of a Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) is different than for a Conventional Activated Sludge (CAS) process. Because of the interrelationship between process conditions and membrane filtration several design considerations are unique to MBR. This paper provides a step-by-step approach to MBR process design including sample diagrams and l...

Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology is rapidly evolving and innovating. This paper covers five generations of MBR and provides a brief history of the technology starting with Dorr Oliver in the 1960's....
