Workpackages - MBR-TRAIN Process optimisation and fouling control in membrane bioreactors for wastewater and drinking water treatment
MBR-TRAIN concentrates its efforts on the open questions of viable MBR technology application while utilising different approaches and methodologies pursued in the participating institutions.
In total, MBR-TRAIN offers 19 individual research projects of different duration, which will be investigated by a single fellow, but always in close co-operation and exchange with the other project partners, which is expressed in mandatory exchanges of personnel throughout the training duration.
The research addresses the following topics and aspects:
Membrane types, materials and configuration
Foulants and fouling characterisation
Biological processes, sludge interactions
Fluid dynamics
Operational cost
General process performance
One particular aspect of all projects is their training character and the formation they shall provide to the young researchers.
