  • A bench scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) was constructed for investigating the pollutants removal characteristics of natural start-up and steady operation of MBR for treating polluted surface water. During the experiments, there was no clear indication for the maturity of heterotrophic bacteria, and the removal efficiencies for DOC, UV254 and CODMn were only (14.5±5.1)%, (12.6±5.6)% and (31.2±7.4)%, respectively. Therefore, the MBR need to be coupled with other processes to improve its capacity for removal of organic matter. However, the indications for the maturity of nitroso-bacteria and nitro-bacteria were visible. Respectively, the nitroso-bacteria came to mature 23 days after start-up and nitro-bacteria came to mature 31 days after start-up. During the steady state, the removal of influent NH3-N was over 80% and the effluent NO2--N was bellow 0.05 mg/L. Besides, the results of ammonia removal demonstrated that the alkalinity had significant influence on the performance of MBR for ammonia removal, and the removal efficiency of ammonia increased from (86.1±3.7)% to (98.0±1.6)% while dosing 30 mg/L of NaHCO3 in influent. In the investigation, the membrane in MBR was operated under the conditions of constant flux (10 L/(m2·h)), continuous aeration and backwashing for 15 s after every 10 min of filtration. Under these conditions, obvious membrane fouling was observed, with the average trans-membrane pressure development rate of 0.45 kPa/d. To mitigate the membrane fouling of MBR, it is required to further optimize the relevant operating parameters.

Abstract: A bench scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) was constructed for investigating the pollutants removal characteristics of natural start-up and steady operation of MBR for treating polluted surface water. During the experiments, there was no clear indication for the maturity of heterotrophic bacteria, and the removal efficiencies for DOC, UV254 and CODMn were only (14.5±5.1)%, (12.6±5.6)% and (31.2±7.4)%, respectively. Therefore, the MBR need to be coupled with other processes to improve its capacity for removal of organic matter. However, the indications for the maturity of nitroso-bacteria and nitro-bacteria were visible. Respectively, the nitroso-bacteria came to mature 23 days after start-up and nitro-bacteria came to mature 31 days after start-up. During the steady state, the removal of influent NH3-N was over 80% and the effluent NO2--N was bellow 0.05 mg/L. Besides, the results of ammonia removal demonstrated that the alkalinity had significant influence on the performance of MBR for ammonia removal, and the removal efficiency of ammonia increased from (86.1±3.7)% to (98.0±1.6)% while dosing 30 mg/L of NaHCO3 in influent. In the investigation, the membrane in MBR was operated under the conditions of constant flux (10 L/(m2·h)), continuous aeration and backwashing for 15 s after every 10 min of filtration. Under these conditions, obvious membrane fouling was observed, with the average trans-membrane pressure development rate of 0.45 kPa/d. To mitigate the membrane fouling of MBR, it is required to further optimize the relevant operating parameters.
