Operating Large Scale Membrane Bioreactors for Municipal Wastewater TreatmentChristoph BrepolsISBN: 9781843393054 • Nov 2010 • 156 pages • PaperbackIWA members price: £ 59.25 / US$ 106.65 / € 79.99http://www.iwapublishing.com/template.cfm?name=isbn9781843393054During the last decade membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology has grown up to bestate of the art in municipal wastewater treatment. Since 1999 the Erftverband hasdesigned, tendered and commissioned three MBR for municipal wastewater treatmentin Germany, with capacities from 3,000 to 45,000 m³/d. The Erftverband was one ofthe pioneers in the full scale application of the technology regularly hosted trainingand information workshops for plant designers and operators from all over the world.Operating Large Scale Membrane Bioreactors for Municipal Wastewater Treatmentprovides hands-on information on many aspects of MBR technology based on more thanten years of practical experience in the operation of MBR plants with hollow-fibermicrofiltration units. It gives details on process configuration, investment andoperation costs based on case studies and also in comparison to data from conventionalactivated sludge (CAS) treatment processes. The book contains the most recentresearch findings as Erftverband has been collaborating on many of the major Europeanresearch projects dedicated to MBR technology.-----_________________________________________________________________________________________________________52IWA <strong>Specialist</strong> <strong>Group</strong> on Membrane Technology:Newsletter No. 1, June 2011
