Enhancing Livestock Manure Valorization Through High-Mlss Nitrification In an MBR with an End-Free Hollow Fiber Membrane
Short Introductive summary
This study examines how mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) affect nitrification and membrane fouling in a membrane bioreactor treating livestock manure wastewater. It finds that raising MLSS improves ammonia conversion up to an optimal point, with about 15,000 mg/L giving the best balance between strong nitrification and manageable membrane fouling. Beyond that level, higher viscosity and oxygen-transfer limitations begin to reduce performance. Overall, the work shows that high-MLSS MBR operation, combined with an end-free hollow fiber membrane, can help stabilize manure liquid streams and support their downstream valorization as a more useful bioresource.
