MBR type | Membrane type | Main results in matter of fouling | Reference |
Rotating MBR | Flat sheet | Flux augmented from 42 L/m2 h to 47 L/m2 h when rotational speed elevated from 15 to 25 r/min | [84] |
Rotating MBR | Flat sheet | Membrane fouling rate is much lower in rotating MBR juxtaposed to traditional MBR for the identical energy consumption | [64] |
Rotating MBR | Tubular | The fouling rate decreased as the rotational speed of the module increased | [65] |
Rotating MBR | Hollow fiber | At the tested rotational frequencies, high dispersive conditions were present and significantly larger than those observed during static operation | [66] |
Reciprocal MBR | Hollow fiber | Low and stable transmembrane pressure was achieved at 40 L/m2 h by use of repetitive membrane reciprocation | [67] |
Helical membrane | Filter cloth sheet | 27% enhancement of stable flux can be maintained by rotating a 360˚ helical membrane, compared to a rotating same sized flat membrane, at a rotating speed of 160 rpm | [1] |
Baffled MBR | Flat sheet | 10% - 30% increase in membrane surface shear compared with the no-baffle configuration at the same aeration intensity | [71] |
