Introduction MBRs (membrane bioreactors) are a recent innovation of the activated sludge process, which eliminates many constraints associated with the traditional gravity settling. Nevertheless, it suffer membrane fouling. The colloidal and macromolecular fraction of MBR sludge has been reported as the main foulant of MBR systems. SMP can be classified into BAP (biomass associated products) an...

Membrane properties such as porosity and surface morphology significantly affect fouling in membrane bioreactors (MBRs). Amphiphilic Pluronic block–copolymers have attracted attention recent years their use during preparation has resulted improved properties. This study focused on establishing a technique to improve by adding TR–702 prepare chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (CPVC) flat–sheet sui...

Silicone is already widely used in biomedical applications thanks to its outstanding properties. Now additive manufacturing (AM) of silicone can achieve submillimeter details and offered by SpectroPlast AG as a service. AM particularly interesting for designs with complex internal structures such bioreactors or oxygenators where oxygen permeability important. Therefore, the additively manufactu...
