I.R. (3Q 4Q 5Q): T-N= 68 83%, T-P= 51 80%
C/N ratio (4 10): T-N= 55 80%, T-P= 38 76%: Phosphorus removal is more dependent on the content of
organics than nitrogen
HRT (12 6 hrs): at least 8 hrs HRT was needed
Desirable operating conditions; internal recycle rate = 4Q, HRT > 8 hrs
Sludge production = 1 - 6% of the CASP

Condensate of food waste (CFW) great potential as a carbon source for nutrient removal !
In the lab-scale vertical MBRs (acetate, propionic acid, glucose),- Average removal efficiency of nitrogen was about 80%- Removal efficiencies of phosphorus decreased in order of acetate (87%), propionic acid (83%), and glucose (78%) at C/N = 10
- Addition of the CFW (50% of COD) improved nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies by 2 - 4% and 4 - 11%, respectively.
Assessment of EBPR activity (batch test)- P release/uptake activity; acetate > propionic acid > glucose
several kinds of PHAs were detected inside the cells

In the pilot-scale MBR treating municipal wastewater, - Average removal efficiency of total COD, T-N, and T-P
96%, 74%, and 78%, respectively at 8 hr HRT and C/N = 5.5- As the CFW was supplemented (0.86%), T-N and T-P removal
efficiencies increased to 81% and 91%, respectively.- At differing temperature (13 - 25 °C),
Nitrification efficiency = 79 - 81% Phosphorus removal efficiency = 77 - 81%
- Additional removal by the formation of dynamic membranesOrganics (8%), nitrification (5%) and denitrification (4%)
- The effluent quality could satisfy the current drinking water standards except for ammonia-N.
Analysis of population dynamics- As C/N ratio decreased, the number of microbial species decreased- Species of the beta subclass or Proteobacteria are considered toplay an important role in EBPR.
- When the CFW was added, Geothrix fermentans appeared.

1. Series MBR vs. Vertical MBR (SRT = 30 days)- Vertical-type MBR; relatively low MLSS concentration
(EPS and viscosity) reduce membrane fouling !- Cake layer resistance was about 60-70% of the total resistance
2. Lab-scale vs. Pilot-scale vertical MBR- PPilot-scale showed relatively higher values of EPS and viscosity,
smaller particle size severe fouling !- In pilot-scale MBR (HRT=10 8 6 4 hrs);
EPS content and particle size increasedCake layer resistance appeared to be the controlling factor of the total resistance
3. Fouling remediation- The inside air supply was more efficient than the outside air supply
