Reclamation of Treated Domestic Wastewater using Biological Membrane Assisted Carbon Filtration(BIOMAC)

摘要

Membrane processes are increasingly used as an advanced treatment technique for the reclamation of treated domestic wastewater. Despite their inherent advantages, fouling remains an operational problem, while the removal of dissolved organic components such as volatile organic compounds is negligible. In the present work, the addition of a partially non- submerged biological granular activated carbon filtration to a microfiltration lab-scale reactor was investigated. It was observed that the reactor could be operated under stable flux conditions although regular hydraulic backwashing was necessary.
