Theoretical and experimental representation of a submerged membrane bio-reactor system
Judd SJ., Le-Clech P., Taha T., Cui ZF.
The impact of introducing 'slug' flow into a tubular 'in-to-out' membrane bio-reactor is discussed in this article. Data are presented from both a theoretical hydrodynamic model of slug flow through a tube, and from a practical experiment based on a hybrid membrane bio-reactor which incorporates submerged and cross-flow membrane elements.
