Fundamentals of MBR design − the immersed membrane bioreactor process
The design of a membrane bioreactor system largely relates to the configuration of the membrane, the membrane separation process, and the biotreatment process.

MBR building blocks
An MBR has the same components as a classical activated sludge process, but with membrane separation replacing sedimentation
Topic
MBRs − choosing the process and membrane configuration
MBRs have two process configurations, immersed and sidestream, their implementation depending on wastewater quality and flow

Immersed vs sidestream MBRs − flux and shear
Shear is the force created when an air or liquid stream flows parallel to the membrane surface, helping to suppress fouling

Ancillary equipment for membrane bioreactors
Unlike classical activated sludge treatment, MBRs require fine screening to 1-3 mm, and membrane process operation control

US vs SI units: a conversation on conversion
For the mechanical parameters of mass, length, time, flow rate, density, viscosity, force, pressure, energy and power, adherence to US units imposes unnecessary barriers in understanding their inter-relationships based on the governing physical laws.
