The filtration unit of an AnMBR pilot plant was isolated and feed with different oil and grease concentrations, between 0.25 y 1 g DQOsubstrate/g SVsludge. The biological process was monitored and the membrane filtration profile was assessed by means of a critical flux method with pre-compression step (PCCF), studying internal and external irrevers...

The performance of an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) treating wastewater with high levels of oil and grease content from a snacks factory is studied and its effectiveness is demonstrated. The relation between the reversible and the irreversible fouling rate and the fouling propensity of the fatty matter were evaluated under a subcritical flu...

Identification and quantification of the separate roles of compression and of cake build-up in membranes under different fouling conditions can provide a better understanding of filtration and MBR behavior. A simple and rapid flux-step method for evaluation of critical flux, subcritical and supracritical fouling rates and in situ determination of i...
