Membrane aerated biofilms for high rate biotreatment : performance appraisal, engineering principles, scale-up and development requirements

Syron, Eoin ; Casey, Eoin (ACS, 2008-03-15)

Diffusion of the electron acceptor is the rate controlling step in virtually all biofilm reactors employed for aerobic wastewater treatment. The membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) is a technology that can deliver ...
Model-based comparative performance analysis of membrane aerated biofilm reactor configurations

Syron, Eoin ; Casey, Eoin (Wiley, 2008-04-15)

The potential of the membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) for high-rate bio-oxidation was investigated. A reaction-diffusion model was combined with a preliminary hollow-fiber MABR process model to investigate reaction ...
Studies on the effect of concentration of a self-inhibitory substrate on biofilm reaction rate under co-diffusion and counter diffusion configurations

Syron, Eoin ; Kelly, Hugh ; Casey, Eoin (Elsevier, 2009-06-15)

A simple mathematical model was developed to investigate the utilization rate of a self-inhibitory substrate in idealised biofilm reactors operating with either counter-diffusion or co-diffusion of oxygen and phenol. This ...
