Simulation of wastewater treatment processes with Bioreactor Membrane Reactor (MBR) treatment versus conventional the adsorbent layer-based filtration system (LAFS)

The membrane for wastewater decontamination is an interesting alternative to conventional layered adsorbent filtration systems. Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) remove the residual biomass on the surface of the membranes irrespective of the settling properties of the sediment. Therefore, a high waste concentration as well as a low nutrient/microorganism ratio is required. In addition, the development process of a characteristic Layer Adsorption Filtration System (LAFS) community is favoured by the special properties of MBRs. This study will study the operating and treatment performance of MBR and infiltration processes and compare them with each other. The calculation was made using GPS-X software. The quality of the effluent received by the MBR system was better or equivalent to that obtained by adsorbent layer filtration (ALF). The main significant difference was the removal of total suspended solids (TSS), which reached up to 96% and also, organic matter in the MBR.
