HOLLOW FIBER MEMBRANE BIOREACTORS: DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS

Hollow fiber membrane bioreactors offer a versatile platform for biological processes. Their design consists of an array of hollow fibers, acting as separation layers. Tailoring the arrangement and characteristics of these fibers is vital for achieving desired process performance. Key design considerations include fiber thickness, fiber distributi

This study investigates the efficacy of Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) membranes within a membrane bioreactor (MBR) system. The objective was to determine the long-term durability and productivity of PVDF membranes under diverse operational conditions. A range of tests were conducted to analyze the effect of parameters such as transmembrane pressur
