Remarks:

  • These is basic instrumentation to operate the activated sludge system or membrane bioreactor. The more instrumentation analysis are required for more detail observation.
  • The other parametersthat could be required to be tested are, NO-2 -N, NO-3 –N, total phospor (TP) and total nitrogen (TN).
  • The detail can be found and standard method for wastewates analysis.

The operating parameters is determined according to the pilot plant parameters from MBR companies.

Hi,

I'm looking for a membrane module for a single home-sized MBR. I've looked and looked, but I can't find one to actually buy anywhere. Probably 3 m2 or so would be good. Would you be able to give me some tips on how to obtain these sorts of modules? Hollow fiber seems like ideal. I have read papers with people using some from Zenon (GE) but xenon says they do not sell those, only provide then to researchers.
