Abstract
To remove organic contaminants, centralized wastewater treatment plants in the US commonly rely on aerobic processes, which have high energy demands and sludge production. Instead, anaerobic treatments could result in a net-positive energy yield due to methane fermentation from organic pollutants. Here, a pilot- scale Staged Anaerobic Fluidized Bed Membrane Bioreactor (SAF-MBR) was evaluated as an anaerobic secondary treatment technology for domestic wastewater. During the first year of its operation, the SAF-MBR produced high quality effluent with COD and TSS removal of up to 95% and 100%, respectively. However, operational challenges highlight the need for further research into effective fouling control mechanisms, such as comparing particle sparging with biogas sparging in the SAF-MBR.
