the webinar is that the instructor will stop to ask for questions but you
can also enter questions electronically in the chat or Q&A box
usually located in the lower right corner of the screen.

Membrane Concepts
Membrane Bioreactors
A membrane bioreactor is not a biological process. It is a
process configuration that allows conventional processes
to work more efficiently and in a smaller footprint.
A MBR membrane is a high class filter
Microfiltration and ultrafiltration membranes restrict the
movement of solids and bacteria across the membrane.
MF and UF do not remove soluble material.

Optimum range for flat plate membranes is 9,000 12,000 mg/L MLSS
in aeration basins; maintain MLSS below 14,000 mg/L in cassette
tanks.
After sludging, cassettes must be removed from the tank and manually
cleaned. Plant could be at reduced capacity for many days.
A maintenance contract can lock in cassette replacement costs for 20year period at a lower cost than replacing all cassettes at a fixed time
period.

Note that mixed liquor recycling is critical to maintaining flow across the membrane
modules, to prevent sludging. That will define mixed liquor recycle rates, and works
well with denitrification schemes
Determine the numbers of cassettes (SMUs) required to handle peak future equalized
flow
Determine the number of membrane tanks required, considering one tank out of service
for recovery cleaning or maintenance.
Coordinate with vendors and require guarantees on flux rates, chemical consumption
and air requirements.
