Submerged flat-sheet systems

The submerged flat-sheet systems are principally used for high solids content MBR applications. Table 10.3 summarizes the products from three suppliers, which are briefly...

The submerged membrane photoreactor was more advantageous in terms of permeate flux, with values almost twice those measured with the flat-sheet membranes. Nevertheless, the UF membranes used in the submerged system were not able to reject the drug and its degradation products [94],... 

Hollow fibers are generally used for submerged applications, although flat sheets, and more recently, spiral wound modules have come into use in submerged systems. In general, pressurized and submerged systems compare favorably, with the submerged... 

The submerged MBR system is a small-footprint, single-process unit that can achieve a high-quality standard with low solids production. The membrane systems typically utilize either micro- or ultramembranes configured as hollow fibers, flat sheets, or tubes depending upon the manufacturer. Experience over the past decade has proved MBRs to be reliable and cost-effective for high-quality effluent applications, and relatively easy to maintain and operate. The key parameters for MBR... 

Huber The Huber MBR is radically different from aU other commercial submerged membrane systems, being based on a mechanically moved membrane. The Huber VRM (vacuum rotating membrane) uses flat-sheet membranes of polyethersulfone...
