Integrated membrane bioreactors modelling: A review on new comprehensive modelling framework

Giorgio Mannina et al. Bioresour Technol. 2021 Jun.

Abstract

Integrated Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) models, combination of biological and physical models, have been representing powerful tools for the accomplishment of high environmental sustainability. This paper, produced by the International Water Association (IWA) Task Group on Membrane Modelling and Control, reviews the state-of-the-art, identifying gaps for future researches, and proposes a new integrated MBR modelling framework. In particular, the framework aims to guide researchers and managers in pursuing good performances of MBRs in terms of effluent quality, operating costs (such as membrane fouling, energy consumption due to aeration) and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions.

Keywords: Biological processes; High environmental sustainability; Modelling framework; Performance indicators.
