  • Publication number: 20100288698
    Abstract: A method for removing phosphorus having steps of a) providing a membrane bioreactor having a membrane module having a lower part; b) aerating intensively the lower part of the membrane module while controlling dissolved oxygen concentration around the membrane module at more than 2 mg/L and dissolved oxygen concentration in the rest zone at less than 1 mg/L so as to form an aerobic zone, a facultative aerobic zone, and an anaerobic zone; and c) introducing sludge having a concentration of between 10,000 mg/L and 30,000 mg/L and having an organic loading of between 0.08 and 0.07 Kg (COD)/(Kg (MLSS)·d) into the membrane reactor so that phosphorus is absorbed in the aerobic zone, released in the facultative aerobic zone, and reduced by phosphine-reducing bacteria into phosphine. The method for removing phosphorus does not include discharging sludge. An apparatus employed for the process does not take up much additional space.
