Flow Simulation In A Submerged Membrane Bioreactor At Laboratory Scale

Y.M. Carreño-Martinez, J.M. Gozalvez-Zafrilla, J.A. Mendoza-Roca, and A. Santafé-Moros
Universidad Politecnica de Valencia, Spain

Submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR) is an efficient technology for wastewater treatment that combines biological process and membrane filtration in one single stage. In the most usual configuration, submerged membrane hollow fibers are set in several planes. Air is introduced from the ... Read More

CVD Graphene Growth Mechanism on Nickel Thin Films
