Membrane bioreactor technology for advanced municipal wastewater treatment strategies

WP5	Feedwater characterisation and MBR monitoring
Partner(s)	NTNU, IBET, INSA, UM II, DUT, UNITN, UTS, UKZN, POLYM, UNESCO-IHE
Info	Mth 1 - 36 to develop and validate off-line methods and on-line monitoring techniques for physical/chemical characterization of biomass and foulant agents present in the feedwater, as well as microbial population dynamics, aiming at describing the membrane filtration behaviour and reactor performance; by integration of the previous approach, it is aimed to: 1 - establish deterministic relationships between measured characteristics and membrane filtration / reactor performance (mechanistic modelling) and; 2 - develop pattern recognition associations between the characterization parameters and the recorded performance (pattern recognition modelling); to extend the understanding of membrane filtration behaviour and reactor performance and trace them back to the level of operational decisions to optimise filterability and avoid system failure; to define guidelines to be tested at pilot/full scale
