Two-stage MBR First stage: convert organics into methane Second stage: remove nutrients methane O2 Minimal Pretreatment (grit removal, screens) Anaerobic MBR Effluent Influent Anaerobic Anoxic membranes membranes sludge (8-10% P) stabilized sludge Dewatering Objectives: recover more energy from the organics, use less O2 produce less sludge, first stage generates carbon needed for N and P removal, avoid chemicals for disinfection. stabilized solids (high P)
Laboratory setup First stage converts organics into methane Second stage removes nutrients
