In the field of sewage treatment and water reuse, MBR, also known as Membrane Bio-Reactor (Membrane Bio-Reactor), is a new type of water treatment technology that combines a membrane separation unit and a biological treatment unit. According to the structure of the membrane, it can be divided into flat membrane, tubular membrane and hollow fiber membrane. According to the membrane pore size, it can be divided into ultrafiltration membrane, microfiltration membrane, nanofiltration membrane, reverse osmosis membrane and so on.
Process type
According to the combination of membrane module and bioreactor, the
membrane-bioreactor can be divided into three basic types: separate
type, integrated type and composite type. (The following
discussions are all solid-liquid separation membrane-bioreactors)
[1]
Split
Separately set up the membrane module and the bioreactor. The mixed
liquid in the bioreactor is pressurized by the circulating pump and
hits to the filter end of the membrane module. Under the action of
pressure, the liquid in the mixed liquid penetrates the membrane
and becomes the system treatment water; solids and macromolecular
substances are intercepted by the membrane. The concentrated liquid
is returned to the bioreactor.
Separate membrane-bioreactor is characterized by stable and
reliable operation, easy to clean, replace and add membrane; and
the membrane flux is generally large. However, under general
conditions, in order to reduce the deposition of pollutants on the
membrane surface and prolong the cleaning cycle of the membrane, it
is necessary to use a circulating pump to provide a higher
cross-flow flow rate on the membrane surface. The water circulation
volume is large and the power cost is high (Yamamoto, 1989). The
shearing force generated by the high-speed rotation of the worm
will inactivate certain microbial cells (Brockmann and Seyfried,
1997).
All-in-one
Place the membrane module inside the bioreactor. The influent water
enters the membrane-bioreactor, where most of the pollutants are
removed by the activated sludge in the mixed liquid, and then the
water is filtered by the membrane under the action of external
pressure.
This type of membrane-bioreactor has relatively low energy
consumption due to the omission of the mixed liquid circulation
system and the pumping of water; it occupies a more compact area
than the separate type, and has attracted special attention in the
field of water treatment. However, the general membrane flux is
relatively low, which is prone to membrane fouling, and it is not
easy to clean and replace the membrane after fouling.
Compound
It also belongs to the integrated membrane-bioreactor in form. The
difference is that packing is added in the bioreactor to form a
composite membrane-bioreactor, which changes certain
characteristics of the reactor.
Process characteristics
Compared with many traditional biological water treatment
processes, MBR has the following main advantages:
High quality and stable effluent water quality
Due to the efficient separation of membranes, the separation effect
is much better than traditional sedimentation tanks, the treated
effluent is extremely clear, suspended solids and turbidity are
close to zero, bacteria and viruses are greatly removed, and the
effluent quality is better than the domestic miscellaneous water
quality standards issued by the Ministry of Construction
(CJ25.1-89), it can be directly reused as non-potable municipal
miscellaneous water.
At the same time, the membrane separation also enables the
microorganisms to be completely intercepted in the bioreactor, so
that the system can maintain a high concentration of
microorganisms, which not only improves the overall removal
efficiency of pollutants by the reactor, but also ensures good
effluent water quality, while reacting The device has good
adaptability to various changes in water inlet load (water quality
and water volume), is resistant to impact loads, and can stably
obtain high-quality outlet water quality.
Less surplus sludge output
The process can be operated under high volume load and low sludge
load, and the remaining sludge output is low (theoretically, zero
sludge discharge can be achieved), which reduces the cost of sludge
treatment.
Small footprint, not restricted by setting occasions
The bioreactor can maintain a high concentration of microorganisms,
the processing device has a high volume load, and the floor space
is greatly saved; the process is simple, the structure is compact,
and the floor space is saved. It is not restricted by the
installation location, and is suitable for any occasion. It is
ground, semi-underground and underground.
Can remove ammonia nitrogen and refractory organic matter
Since the microorganisms are completely trapped in the bioreactor,
it is beneficial to the trapped growth of slow-proliferating
microorganisms such as nitrifying bacteria, and the nitrification
efficiency of the system is improved. At the same time, it can
increase the hydraulic retention time of some refractory organics
in the system, which is beneficial to improve the degradation
efficiency of refractory organics.
Convenient operation and management, easy to realize automatic
control
The process realizes the complete separation of the hydraulic
retention time (HRT) and the sludge retention time (SRT), and the
operation control is more flexible and stable. It is a new
technology that is easy to realize equipment in sewage treatment,
and can realize automatic control by microcomputer, thereby
enabling operation management More convenient.
Easy to transform from traditional crafts
This process can be used as the advanced treatment unit of the
traditional sewage treatment process, and it has broad application
prospects in the field of advanced treatment of the effluent of the
municipal secondary sewage treatment plant (thereby realizing the
massive reuse of urban sewage).
