  Feasibility of employing Ultrasound for in-situ fouling control in an Aerobic Membrane Bioreactor
  Author(s): Rutuja S. Kamble* and AB Pandit
  
  In order to design membrane bioreactor, it is essential of a) pre-treatment of wastewater, b) comprehend the behavior of microorganisms in the wastewater to be treated, c) in-situ fouling reduction by controlling the aeration intensity and ultrasound irradiation. The current study has been carried out to study the membrane fouling control with appropriate membrane module design and operating conditions (HRT=10, 12 and 15 hrs, aeration intensity=8 L/min) using pre-treated wastewater with optimum coagulant [1]. The major components of organic matters in the membrane foulants are identified as proteins, polysaccharides and lipids by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) of the collected filter cake. Ultrasonic irradiation is an effective membrane cleaning technique for membrane bioreactors (MBRs) because of several advantages such as high.. View more»
