Membrane fouling in an AnMBR treating industrial wastewater at high total solids concentrationsFigure 7.1. Scheme of the AnMBR reactor set-up.7.3.2. Synthetic wastewaterThe wastewater was prepared by using an aqueous extraction of rosemary(Rosmarinus officinalis), as rosemary is one of the main raw materials in the industrialprocess. The rosemary was boiled for 3 hours in water (1 kg rosemary per 10 L water).The produced concentrate had a COD of 20 to 22 g·L -1 <strong>and</strong> is diluted to CODconcentration of 8 to 10 g·L -1 for the AnMBR.7.3.3. Powder activated carbonCommercial PAC CX1 (CECA, France) was used in this study. PAC wasmanufactured pine wood charcoal chemically activated <strong>with</strong> phosphoric acid. The selectedPAC is specially employed for decolourization of liquids <strong>and</strong> fatty acids elimination in agrofood<strong>and</strong> chemical industries. The main characteristics of PAC are given in table 7.1.177
