Influent Bioreactor UF Membrane UMass Environmental Engineering Research ProjectVOC Emission Reduction and Water Reusein Chemical Manufacturing Using MBR Principal Investigators: • Sarina J. Ergas and James Holden (microbiology) Sponsor: • National Environmental Technology Institute (NETI) Duration: 9/02 – 8/05 Graduate Student: Kyungnan Min Synopsis: Control of VOC emissions from chemical manufacturing facilities using MBR. High quality effluents produced could be reused in the manufacturing process. Thermophilic bacteria allowed for treatment of high temperature wastewater streams.
