Membrane-Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR) Demonstration at Ejby Melle WRRF

摘要

For any new technology, there is often a large leap that is required to move from pilot scale testing to full scale application. The development of new technologies has typically followed an "S-Curve" in the wastewater industry, as discussed by Parker (2011). As discussed in the recent Water Resources Utility of the Future Annual Report (2015), this acceleration of the S-Curve has led to the emergence of an Innovation Ecosystem. Within this ecosystem, technology developers, consulting engineers, utilities, and universities are collaborating to better define risks associated with innovative technology. This collaboration results in a deeper understanding of technology risks and benefits, and increased implementation of innovative technologies that provide clear resource reduction and recovery benefit for a utility.
