Abstract: | Pure oxygen to supply the aerobic condition was used in the performance of a bench-scale submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR).
The pilot plant was located in the wastewater treatment plant of the city of Granada (Spain) and the experimental work was
divided into two stages (Unsteady state and steady state conditions). Operation parameters (MLSS, MLVSS and dissolved oxygen
concentration) and physical characteristics (temperature, conductivity, pH, COD and BOD5) were daily monitored. The results showed the capacity of the MBR systems to remove organic material under a hydraulic retention
time of 18.46 h and sludge retention time of 18.6 days. Therefore, Viscosity of the sludge and αkLa-factor of the aeration, were determinate in the steady stage condition to understand the behavior of the system when pure
oxygen has been used to supply the aerobic conditions of the MBR system showed an alpha-factor of 0.238 when the viscosity
of the system was 4.04 Cp. |
