Abstract

Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs) are becoming an appealing alternative for conventional wastewater treatment but the main setback remains membrane fouling, which is a huge limiting factor in the full-scale application of this technology. One way of controlling this fouling is through flow hydrodynamics. Hydrodynamics near the membrane surface have an impact on fouling which can be studied using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). This paper aims at implementing a CFD model using Fluent® with the Volume of Fluid (VOF) model to simulate the slug flow inside the membrane and to predict the shear stress near the membrane surface.
