Operation and optimization of membrane distillation bioreactor by Kwan, Joseph Zheng Xin.

“…In the MDBR studied, a submerged membrane distillation was incorporated into a bioreactor operating at elevated temperature. Since rejection is based on an evaporation mechanism, the retention time of non-volatile soluble and small organics in the submerged MDBR is independent of the hydraulic retention time (mainly water and volatiles). …”
