Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Watermanagement Programme Sanitary Engineering Date 2008-09-22 Abstract This report presents a study of the effect of temperature on the sludge in the MBR and on filterability. For three wastewater characteristics the relation with the temperature and filterability is determined: the sludge viscosity, the soluble microbial products (SMP) concentration and the particle size distribution. Chapter 2 attends to the basic knowledge about wastewater treatment in general and MBR in special. In chapter 3 there is a detailed explanation of different ways the temperature might affect the wastewater and thus the filtration. In this chapter the objective of the study is given as well. Chapter 4 is about the experiment set-up and methods that are used. In chapter 5 to 8 the results are presented, starting with the general effect of wastewater temperature on the filtration. Chapter 6, 7 and 8 are about the particle size distribution, SMP concentration and viscosity respectively. Each of these three chapters includes theory about the specific subject, expected results according to the theory, additional experiment set-up, presentation of the results, discussion and a conclusion. A general conclusion is available in chapter 9. The conclusion is accompanied by some recommendations for further studies.
