An anaerobic baffled reactor/membrane bioreactor (ABR/MBR) for on-site sanitation in low income areas

“…(3) the impact of mechanical mixing rate, (4) the effects of an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR), and (5) Membrane fouling potential was found to be similar to an aerobic MBR when an ABR was combined MBR was investigated as a solution to on-site sanitation in low-income areas (Pillay et al, 2008). Potential foulants were reduced along the length of the ABR by taking advantage of the compartmentalized design.…”

“…The COD, biological oxygen demand (BOD) and SS removal efficiency was averaged at 74.85%, 71.47% and 71.14%, respectively. Pillay et al [15] coupled ABR and membrane for waterborne sanitation. The research focused on the fouling characteristics of the membrane and operating requirements of the overall system.…”

Three laboratory-scale septic tanks, an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR)-septic tank (R1), a Yuhuan drawing three-dimensional-carrier-septic tank (R2) and a conventional septic tank (R3), were operated in parallel over half a year under hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of 36, 24 and 12 h, with a sewage temperature of 16 degrees C. The removal efficiencies of total chemical oxygen demand (CODtot) achieved in R1 and R2 increased by 14%, 21% and 12% and 18%, 3% and 16%, respectively, under three different HRTs, as compared to those in R3. The total nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies were negligible. R1 sludges had a higher specific methane production rate as compared to that of R2 and R3 sludges. The results indicated that the two modified septic tanks can improve the performance in terms of COD and total solids removal, both were suitable technologies for domestic sewage (pre) treatment at low temperature in northern China.
