5 New bench scale AnMBR study to evaluate questions generated in initial study P1 P2 P3 Three submerged flat sheet membranes Biogas sparging for fouling control, independently controlled for each membrane Operated initially at high sparging rate for fouling control Psychrophilic temperature (15 o C) Inoculated with mesophilic sludge only 1,000 cm 2 Smith, A.L., S.J. Skerlos, and L. Raskin, Membrane biofilm development improves COD removal in anaerobic membrane bioreactor wastewater treatment. Microbial Biotechnology, 8(5):
6 Poor permeate quality during first 100 days of operation Was limited fouling due to high biogas sparging related to poor performance? Influent 500 COD (mg/l) Effluent Acetate Propionate Days from Startup
7 Can we use biofilm treatment to improve permeate quality? Complex polymers Fermenting bacteria Monomers and oligomers Volatile fatty acids and alcohols (Propionate) Hydrolytic and fermenting bacteria Syntrophic acetate oxidizers Acetate H 2 + CO 2 Acetogens Aceticlastic methanogens Syntrophs CH 4 + CO 2 Hydrogenotrophic methanogens

9 Different levels of biofilm development (fouling) on each membrane by varying biogas sparging 0 kpa 27 kpa 45 kpa 0% ~25% ~50% Biogas sparging reduction
10 Biofilm promotion greatly improved permeate quality Low Fouling 160 COD (mg/l) Medium Fouling High Fouling Days from Startup
11 Aceticlastic methanogens and propionate oxidizing bacteria developed over time in biofilm 80 Low Fouling Acetate (mg/l) Bioreactor Medium Fouling High Fouling 0 50 Propionate (mg/l) Days from Startup
12 Methanogenesis in the biofilm impacted the fate of methane 4.0 Methane Oversaturation High Fouling 2.6 ± 0.30 Low Fouling 1.1 ± 0.22 Medium Fouling 1.7 ± Days from Startup 12
13 Are three biofilm communities (fouling layers) different? P1 P2 P3 Microbial community structure DNA DNA extraction of suspended biomass and biofilm biomass Illumina sequencing targeting V4 region of 16S rrna gene of Bacteria and Archaea 1,000 cm 2 Microbial community activity RNA RNA extraction of suspended biomass and biofilm biomass Reverse transcription of RNA cdna IIllumina sequencing targeting V4 region of 16S rrna of Bacteria and Archaea Quantitative PCR of 16S rrna and methyl coenzyme M reductase (mcra) transcript
14 Differences between community structure (DNA) and activity (RNA) and between suspended and biofilm characteristics are substantial Relative Abundance (%) Bacteria unclassified Archaea unclassified Euryarchaeota unclassified Methanomicrobia unclassified Thermoplasmatales unclassified Methanomicrobiales unclassified Methanomicrobiales incertae sedis unclassified Methanobacteriaceae Methanosphaerula Methanosphaera Methanomethylovorans Methanolobus Relative Activity (%) Low Medium Fouling High Fouling Fouling Methanolinea Methanoculleus Methanocorpusculum Methanocalculus Methanobrevibacter Methanobacterium Methanosarcina Methanospirillum Methanoregula Suspended (days from startup) Biofilm (day 138) Methanosaeta

17 Additional questions need to be answered before AnMBR treatment of domestic wastewater will be implemented 1. Can treatment performance be improved? 2. Can operating temperature be lowered? 275 days 3. How does AnMBR compare to conventional treatment technologies based on cost, energy, and environmental impacts?

21 Additional questions need to be answered before AnMBR treatment of domestic wastewater will be implemented 1. Can treatment performance be improved? 2. Can operating temperature be lowered? 3. How does 275 AnMBR days compare to conventional treatment technologies based on cost, energy, and environmental impacts? Number of Publications in Peer Reviewed Journals anaerobic MBR AND domestic wastewater Web of Science TM Basic Science search, Oct Smith, A. L., Stadler, L. B., Cao, L., Love, N. G., Raskin, L., and Skerlos, S. J.

22 Closing the global warming emission gap will require dissolved methane recovery Medium Strength
23 Conclusions 1. Can AnMBR treatment performance be improved? Biofilm improved permeate quality, but increased dissolved methane Biofilm and suspended microbial communities were distinct 2. Can AnMBR operating temperature be lowered from 15 o C? Permeate quality remained excellent for temperature as low as 6 o C Biofilm becomes more critical as temperature decreases 3. How does AnMBR compare to conventional treatment technologies? Energy demands need to be reduced to compete with conventional technologies Methane release must be avoided to have comparable or lower global warming impacts
24 Goals for ongoing and future AnMBR work 1. Improve treatment performance with a focus on low temperatures and low hydraulic retention times Only possible with substantial biofilm activity new AnMBR designs: expand biofilm activity 2. Avoid methane release to reduce global warming potential Biofilm on membrane results in oversaturation and methane release new AnMBR designs: transfer produced methane from the liquid phase to the gas phase 3. Reduce energy demand to be competitive with conventional technologies Sparging for fouling control has high energy demand new AnMBR designs: alternative membrane designs (e.g., rotating ceramic disk membranes)
