Evolution of Sequencing Batch Reactor- Membrane Bioreactor Technology

摘要

Aqua-Aerobic Systems (AAS), in partnership the Colorado School of Mines (CSM), has completed the successful startup of a sequencing batch reactor-membrane bioreactor (SBR-MBR). The package system treats domestic wastewater generated by a 400-apartment, student and faculty housing-complex located on the CSM campus in Golden, CO. This success is rooted in a 15-year development program that follows an informal Stage-Gate~® process.rnDepending on the level of formality of a company's development process, each successive stage requires a review before a "go" or "no-go" decision is made. The time necessary for product development in the water industry tends to be rather long. A primary reason is an historical aversion to new equipment and process concepts due to the significant financial investment required by end-users to incorporate them into existing systems.
