Membrane bioreactors are commonplace in municipal wastewater treatment plants designed to meet stringent discharge limits. The ever-growing demand to reuse water in a shorter cycle as scarcity increases has also relied more on MBRs. While proven successful at the municipal scale, MBRs require a different approach to their implementation in decentralized applications. In this session, we'll discuss the differences between the municipal and decentralized MBR systems and unique challenges faced by the latter. A framework for decentralized MBR systems will presented, outlining the necessary roles played by design, manufacturing, installation, operation, and owners. Technical considerations will be provided for successful design and startup of remote MBR plants. Finally, a brief case study analysis of a decentralized MBR facility will be provided.
After this session, attendees will be able to:
1. Discuss differences between membrane bioreactors in municipal and remote settings.
2. Provide comments for someone considering an MBR for reuse or nutrient reduction.
3. Evaluate decentralized applications for specific nuances that impact MBR design and operation.
Ideal Audience: Engineers and wastewater operators.
