“…Two treatment alternatives including the MBR/MF (MBR treating half of the primary effluent with a filtration system filtering nitrified secondary effluent from the existing system) and the Tertiary Nitrifying MBR (T-MBR, MBR to treat all the non-nitrified secondary effluent from the existing system) were selected for installation at the Woodward Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada which will be the world's largest membrane facility (Constantine et al, 2010a). The T-MBR option was found to require significantly lower energy due to reduced oxygen demand and more efficient oxygen transfer characteristics.…”
