The Pilot Study of the Influence of Free Ammonia on Membrane Fouling during the Partial Nitrosation of Pig Farm Anaerobic Digestion Liquid

The problem of membrane fouling is a key factor restricting the application of the membrane bioreactor (MBR) in the partial nitrosation (PN) and anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) processes. In this study, the pilot-scale continuous flow MBR was used to start up the partial nitrosation process in...
