Abstract

Shows the potential energy and cost savings of a novel biofilm reactor technology based on membrane aerated biofilm reactors (MABR) in comparison to conventional activated sludge (CAS) for water and wastewater treatment. The report focuses on a comparison of energy consumptions for both processes and cost estimations based on reference membrane and electricity prices for retrofit configurations. Research partner: Bureau of Reclamation. Published by the WateReuse Research Foundation in 2013.

This study was a originally funded in cooperation between WateReuse Foundation as Reuse-10-06c and WERF as ENER2C12c.
