This slide presentation outlines information on a study to determine the impact of an integratedbioreactor process and an immersedmembrane system on specific water qualityparameters and membrane fouling of a waterwith a high humic acid content. The significance of the research included: characterizing the appropriate bioreactor andimmersed membrane configuration undervarying synthetic water conditions; increasing biostability of treated water bydecreasing total organic carbon content; and, increasing fundamental understanding of foulingmechanisms on immersed membrane system. Topics covered include: process configurations including membrane/biofilter, biofilter/membrane; support media; membrane and biofilter characteristics; experimental design; experimental results including water quality, total organic carbon, foremate removal, humic acid; percentage removal rates; membrane fouling; transmembrane pressure; fouling rate analysis; and, linear regression analysis. Includes tables, figures.
