The topic:   Design parameter identification, municipal wastewater treatment by MBRs

The client:  Scandanavian consultancy

The brief

For this job the basic design parameters for a large municipal MBR (>250,000 m3/d capacity) were required given very strict spatial limitations and a cold climate. It was demonstrated, through determination of net packing densities (taking account of both the in-module packing density and the spacing between the cassettes in the tank) that the options were limited to an HF iMBR (hollow fibre immersed MBR) technology, with appropriate O&M conditions identified from comparable existing large municipal WwTPs.
