Simulation studies of process scale membrane aerated biofilm reactor configurations

摘要: In the membrane aerated biofilm reactor oxygen diffuses through into where oxidation of pollutants, supplied from side takes place. Despite numerous studies at laboratory scale showing potential technology, efforts to scale-up technology process have been hampered by problems such as excessive growth and consequent flow distribution problems. This paper presents results simulation which utilise Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) examine performance several technical MABR design configurations. The simulations suggest that plate-and-frame configuration with a suitable liquid inlet distributor will deliver superior compared hollow fibre respect distribution.
