Municipal and Industrial Water Recycling with Membrane Bioreactors: Design, Validation & Operation
This course is available at these future events:
IWES Sydney 2018

This new two-day course will help plant managers and
operators plan and implement water recycling systems employing membrane
bioreactors (MBR).
The course covers features of all commercially available MBR systems, details
on estimating size of biological, membrane and ancillary components in municipal
and industrial applications. Case studies from municipal, paper and fibre,
starch and dairy and agri-processing waste will provide information on typical
operating costs and maintenance issues including cleaning and membrane
replacement.
The course will also cover regulatory issues, including requirements of
Australian Guidelines for Water Recycling and state based requirements for
validating pathogen removal and ongoing compliance testing in municipal and
food processing applications.
