Abstract

This paper deals with the development of a description of membrane bioreactor systems, focussing on wastewater treatment and removal of specific low concentration persistent organic pollutants (e.g. persistent polar pollutants - P3 compounds). In the present work we offer a basic model, adapted to Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) conditions, which reflects the biodegradation of recalcitrant (organic) substances. We put particular focus on organic aromatic pollutants and demonstrate a model parameter estimation approach, with experiments carried out for linear alkylbenzene sulphonates (LAS).
