Problems solved by technology

However, these additives can require specific and narrow pH ranges, can increase sludge concentration, cause membrane wear from abrasiveness of the treatment additive particles, or cause additional membrane fouling when the treatment additive itself clogs in the pores of the membrane

Embodiment 1

[0064] The mixed liquor samples used for testing in Examples 1-3 were taken from the municipal wastewater treatment facility of GE China Technology Center. Samples were taken from activated sludge recirculation lines where the MLSS concentration exceeded 10 g / L.

[0065] Each test sample and control sample were tested using a bottle tester (Jar Tester, Phipps & Bird TM) standard bottle test to ensure proper mixing. Four 500 ml aliquots of the mixture were added to four bottles. The treatment additive (Polymer A or Polymer B) was quickly added to each sample in the amount indicated in Table 1. A control sample was also prepared by adding 500 ml of the mixture to a control bottle without adding treatment additives. All samples were agitated rapidly at 200 rpm for 30 seconds followed by slow agitation at 50 rpm for 15 minutes to thoroughly mix the samples.

[0066] The filterability of the mixture of each sample (including the control bottle) was evaluated by the time versus ...

Embodiment 2

[0073] Each of the following test samples and control samples were tested using a bottle tester (Phipps & Bird TM ) standard bottle test to ensure proper mixing. Five 500 ml aliquots of the mixture were added to five bottles. The treatment additives shown in Table 2 were added to each sample. A control sample was also prepared by adding 500 ml of the mixture to a control bottle without adding treatment additives. All samples were agitated rapidly at 200 rpm for 30 seconds followed by slow agitation at 50 rpm for 15 minutes to thoroughly mix the samples.

[0074] The filterability of the mixed liquor of each sample (including the control bottle) was evaluated by the TTF test method as described in Example 1. 200 ml samples from each treated mixture sample and control bottle were added to separate Buchner funnels. A vacuum pressure of 51 kPa (15 inches Hg) was applied using a vacuum pump with a pressure regulator. The time required to filter 100 ml (or 50% of the initial sa...

Embodiment 3

[0081] Each of the following test samples and control samples were tested using a bottle tester (Phipps & Bird TM ) standard bottle test to ensure proper mixing. Six 500 ml aliquots of the mixture were added to six vials. The treatment additives shown in Table 3 were quickly added to each test sample. A control sample was also prepared by adding 500 ml of the mixture to a control bottle without adding treatment additives. All samples were agitated rapidly at 200 rpm for 30 seconds followed by slow agitation at 50 rpm for 15 minutes to thoroughly mix the samples.

[0082] The filterability of the mixed liquor of each sample (including the control bottle) was evaluated by the TTF test method as described in Example 1. 200 ml samples from each treated mixture sample and control bottle were added to separate Buchner funnels. A vacuum pressure of 51 kPa (15 inches Hg) was applied using a vacuum pump with a pressure regulator. The time required to filter 100 ml (or 50% of the i...

Abstract

A method of conditioning mixed liquor in a membrane bioreactor includes dispersing a treatment additive in the mixed liquor. The treatment additive includes a water soluble block copolymer. Methods for improving flux in a membrane bioreactor and clarifying wastewater are also provided.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to methods for improving membrane bioreactor systems, and more particularly, the present invention relates to methods for regulating microbial mixed liquor and improving flux in membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems. Background of the invention [0002] Wastewater from municipal and industrial facilities can be clarified by biologically treating wastewater in membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems. In MBR, microorganisms consume dissolved organic compounds in wastewater, and membranes sieve suspended solids or biomass from treated wastewater (or mixed liquor) to produce clarified water. [0003] The optimized output of clarified water depends on the efficiency of the MBR system and the flux of the membrane. The condition and quality of the biological community of microorganisms in the MBR system will affect the operation of the MBR and the filterability of the mixed liquor. Species in the mixed liquor, such as extracellular po...
