Process optimisation and fouling control in membrane bioreactors for wastewater and drinking water treatment

WP12 Computational fluid dynamics applied on MBR systems
Partner(s) KWB
Info Mth 4 -
  • Optimisation of system geometry (membranes, modules, aeration, implantation in the reactor, etc) with modern simulation tools such as those offered by Computer Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to minimise slow accumulation of particles
  • Development and calibration of such hydrodynamic model based on a generic CFD model adapted to MBR conditions (di-phasic with a specific sludge rheology)
  • Application of this model to undertake optimisation studies of existing filtration technologies (module and reactor geometry, aerator design, operation conditions etc).
  • Coupling of CFD model with a biological ASM-type model in order to improve the precision of the process modelling.
