Article Abstract

The ability of simultaneous phosphorus and nitrogen removal of sequencing batch membrane bioreactor run in anaerobic/oxic/ anoxic mode (AOA MBR) was examined under three aeration intensities [2.5, 3.75 and 5.0 m3 x (m2 x h)(-10]. The results showed that the averaged removals of COD were over 90% at different aeration intensities. And the higher aeration intensity was, the more ammonia nitrogen removal rate achieved. The removal rates of NH4(+) under the three aeration intensities were 84.7%, 90.6% and 93.8%, respectively. Total nitrogen removal rate increased with the increasing aeration intensity. But excessive aeration intensity reduced TN removal. The removal rates of TN under the three aeration intensities were 83.4%, 87.4% and 80.6%, respectively. Aeration intensity affected the denitrifying phosphorus ability of the AOA MBR. The ratio of denitrification phosphorus removal under the three aeration intensities were 20%, 30.2% and 26.7%, respectively.

Water-lifting aerators (WLAs) developed by our teams are typically employed to improve water quality via artificial mixing. However, the WLA deactivation following rainfall frequently results in phytoplankton blooms in the reservoirs. The mechanisms by which rainfall events trigger blooms and the sedimentation characteristics of suspended solid (SS) and total phosphorus (TP), associated with WLA reactivation, remain unclear.

Sludge treatment reed beds (STRBs) are a sustainable and cost-effective approach to dewatering and mineralizing sewage sludge. While these nature-based solutions are robust and efficient in dewatering and stabilizing excess sludge, it is still unclear the fate of micropollutants in such technology and consequently, the quality of the final product biosolids that can be used as fertilizer, when legislation allows for it. The STRBs consisted of an area of 2.

The performance of bubbles in the hollow fiber membrane module has been explored to overcome the membrane fouling in many studies. In this study, to obtain a better strategy, the process of slug bubbles tracking under different crossflow velocity and aeration intensity has been explored in the tubular system. Based on an in-suit investigation method, Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensing technology, the bubbles velocity, coalescence number, travelling distance, interference aera were investigated in the slug bubbles tracking process.

The solar-powered two-stage inclined plate-membrane bioreactor (STIP-MBR), utilized energy from an off-grid hybrid solar system, was developed for treatment of pharmaceuticals from the high-rise building wastewater with energy-savings. The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of aeration intensity in terms of aerobic and microaerobic conditions, and sludge return rates (100 % and 200 %) on the microbial structure changes and the removal performances of the targeted pharmaceuticals (Ciprofloxacin (CIP), Caffeine (CAF) and Sulfamethoxazole (SMX)). It was found that the removal performances of all target pharmaceuticals could be enhanced by increasing the aeration intensity.
