A full-scale plant of an MBR system treating livestock wastewater has shown impressive results. The Cheorwon County Environmental Authorities adopted the MBR process with UF membrane for retrofitting the old plant, which removes organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus at a high level. According to 6 months operation data, BOD and SS removal were about 99.9% and CODMn, TN and TP removal were 92.0%, 98.3% and 82.7%, respectively. It is considered that the temperature at the bioreactor has to be controlled to be below 40 °C so as to ensure sufficient nitrification. It appeared that the MBR system is competitive with other conventional technologies for treatment of livestock wastewater such as piggery waste.

A novel hydrogenotrophic denitrification system, which consisted of a sequencing batch membrane bioreactor, was evaluated for simultaneous removal of nitrate and soluble microbial products (SMP) from a synthetic groundwater feed. A hollow fiber membrane diffuser was used for bubble-less diffusion of hydrogen into the bioreactor under anoxic condition followed by aerobic SMP removal and biomass filtration. During the anoxic period, the nitrate loading of 0.328 kg N m−3 d−1 was completely denitrified to below detectable levels. A denitrification rate of 0.8 kg N m−3 d−1 was obtained at steady state biomass concentrations of 1,162 mg l−1. During the aerobic period when biomass filtration was performed, 81% of SMP produced within the anoxic phase was retained by the membrane, 9% was biologically removed, 5% was passed through the membrane and 5% was discharged during the wasting of mixed liquor. The aerobic cycle was instrumental as it allowed for effective biomass filtration via membrane scouring and assisted in further reduction of effluent organic matter.
