Abstract

Abstract

Membrane aerated biofilm reactor(MABR) is a novel type of biological wastewater treatment technology, which has high oxygen transfer efficiency and biofilm system of counter-diffusion. It has obvious advantages in nitrogen removing efficiency, energy saving, sludge reduction, attracting much attention in recent years. In the past 20 years, a series of researches were carried out on the factors influencing the operation effect of MABR, such as gas transfer, substrate transfer and microbial community structure, and great progress was achieved in process optimization, reactor design and model simulation. With the continuous improvement of membrane materials, MABR technology has a good prospect in engineering practice.
