    摘要: Recalcitrant chemical oxygen demand (COD) of a liquid is reduced in a water treatment system. The method includes pretreating the liquid in a pretreatment unit to remove indigenous bacteria or microbes to a population level below which the indigenous organisms can interfere with the screened and externally introduced microorganisms. The liquid is then provided to a reactor that has a filter bed formed with a carrier material. Special microbes are screened and used to colonize the carrier material to remove recalcitrant COD. A biofilm is cultured on the surface of the carrier material to immobilize the screened microbes in the reactor. The method further includes percolating the liquid from the pretreatment unit through the filter bed colonized with the screened microbes to degrade at least part of the recalcitrant COD under aerobic conditions. In one embodiment, the filter is formed with biological granular activated carbon (GAC) as the carrier material and the screened microbes comprise at least one microbial species selected from the group consisting of Bacillus, Comamonas, Arthrobacter, Micrococcus, Pseudomonas, Pediococcus, Achromobacter, Flavobacterium, Mycobacterium, Rhodanobacter, Stenotrophomonas and Yeast.

    摘要: A membrane filtration process includes pretreating an influent solution to remove suspended solids, to produce a pretreated solution. pH of the pretreated solution is adjusted to at least 8.3 or lower by injecting CO2 into the pretreated solution, to produce a conditioned solution. Injecting CO2 also serves to supplement bicarbonate in the conditioned solution. The conditioned solution is flowed through a membrane filtration unit, to produce a permeate solution and a retentate solution. The membrane filtration unit comprises reverse osmosis membranes or nanofiltration membranes, or both. The retentate solution is then treated to cause precipitation, to produce a supernatant solution and a reject solution. At least a portion of the supernatant solution is recirculated by combining it with the influent solution prior to the step of pretreating.

    摘要: A membrane bioreactor uses a process and apparatus for dosing flux enhancing chemicals (FEC) to respond to temporary periods of operation that cause, or are likely to cause, membrane fouling. An FEC dosing device is provided in communication with a channel separating a process tank and the membrane unit of an MBR. A mixer in the channel rapidly mixes dosed FEC with mixed liquor flowing into the membrane tank. The dosing device is connected to sensors sensing conditions in the channel, the membrane unit or both. FEC is added to the mixed liquor flowing into the membrane unit considering conditions in the mixed liquor flowing to the membrane unit or membrane operating parameters or both. The FEC dosage may be in the range of 0.05 to 10 mg/g MLSS. The process may include steps of initiating dosing, adjusting the dosing concentration, and terminating dosing.
