| Projectidea: Project idea:In this research project a new fabric filtration procedure is developed for the application in the municipal sewage cleaning technology. It is a modification of the membrane bioreactor system where a Membrane filtration process serves to separate the sludge from the purified effluent. The difference is that a mesh filter is used instead of the membrane. Due to the much larger pore size of the mesh, the effluent is not of the same excellent quality as with membrane bioreactors. Nevertheless, it is still resembles the quality of the now most widely used standard treatment system, where settling tanks are used to retain the activated sludge. At the same time, the new system features all the other advantages of membrane bioreactors including elevated sludge concentrations resulting in decreased volumes of basins and complete substitution of the settling tank. Therefore, this process presents a potential future alternative where a small footprint of the pant is required. Aim of the Mesh-project is to develop a practical and marketable system and to investigate and demonstrate its ability and effectiveness in a pilot plant (80 PE). Within the framework of this project, MEMOS GmbH is developing a manufacturing modus for the production of the mesh-filter tubes and the construction of modules with mesh-filter tubes and produces the mesh-filter-test-modules for small test-plants and for the pilot plant. |
