| description | The membrane bioreactor (MBR) system was investigated regarding its nitrate
removal capacity from drinking water. The performance of a pilot-scale MBR
was tested, depending on the operational parameters, using sucrose as a
carbon source. Drinking water from the source was introduced into the reactor
in order to study the influence of flow-rate on the nitrate removal and
denitrification efficiency of drinking water. The content of the nitrate was
around 70 mg/L and the C/N ratio was 3:1. Nitrate removal efficiencies above
90% were obtained by flow-rates lower than 4.8 L/h. The specific
denitrification rates varied between 0.02 and 0.16 g/L NO3/ (g/L MLSS•d). The
efficiencies and nitrate removal were noticeably affected by the flow-rate
and hydraulic retention times. At the maximum flow-rate of 10.2 L/h still 68%
of the nitrate had been removed, whilst the highest specific denitrification
rate was achieved at 0.2738 g/L NO3/ (g/L) MLSS•d). The maximum reactor
removal capacity was calculated at 8.75 g NO3/m3•h. |
