In the last decades, energy scarcity has become an important issue globally. Renewable
energy sources have gained importance due to limited fossil fuel reserves and increased …

Biofouling in membrane bioreactors (MBRs) remains a primary challenge for their wider
application, despite the growing acceptance of MBRs worldwide. Research studies on …

Current knowledge of the microbial communities within biological wastewater treatment
reactors is incomplete due to limitations of traditional culture-based techniques and despite …

The effect of solids retention time on reactor performance and microbial community
composition in anoxic/aerobic membrane bioreactors (A/O-MBR) were investigated in this …

A new hybrid system was developed in this study for the treatment of drinking water
consisting of pre-coagulation using polyaluminium chloride (PACl) and membrane filtration …

Sludge retention time (SRT) is a feasible method to alleviate the salt accumulation in the
osmotic membrane bioreactor (OMBR) by discharging the waste activated sludge. In this …

The paper presents a critical overview of the first 50 years in the evolution of the activated
sludge process. Recognition of the role of aeration and microbial activity in the purification of …

Biodegradation of berberine antibiotic was investigated in upflow anaerobic sludge blanket
(UASB)–membrane bioreactor (MBR) process. After 118days of operation, 99.0%, 98.0 …

An anaerobic dynamic membrane bioreactor (AnDMBR) treating municipal wastewater with
a high flux of 65 L/(m 2 h) was operated for 11 months. Organic and inorganic membrane …

Conventional biological nitrogen removal (CBNR) process is widely employed due to its
efficiency. However, its high operating and capital costs have led to the exploration of more …
