    Abstract: In a system for biodegrading oxidizable organic waste in a bioreactor in combination with a membrane ultrafiltration unit used to separate a high quality permeate from activated sludge which is returned to the bioreactor from the membrane unit as a recycle stream, it has been found that an in-line fine bubble diffuser or "micronizer" takes advantage of the kinetic energy in the recycle stream to aerate the biomass with surprising efficiency. The micronizer is positioned external to the biomass in the bioreactor; the discharge from the micronizer provides a microaerated tail-jet of the recycle stream which has been infused with a mass of air bubbles from 1-1000 .mu.m in diameter. The velocity of the compressed air flowed into the micronizer keeps its pores from clogging with sludge. The energy of the recycle stream without the air is insufficient to provide the requisite motive force for adequate oxygen transfer and to establish a predetermined recirculation pattern.

    Abstract: A gas sparger for a filtering membrane system produces an intermittent flow of bubbles even if provided with a relatively continuous gas flow. The sparger has a housing to collect a pocket of gas and a conduit to release some of the gas from the pocket when the pocket reaches a sufficient size. Optionally, a cover over an outlet from the conduit may break up or distribute the released gas. A large sparger for can comprise a plurality of smaller units or areas. The supply of gas to the sparger may vary in flow rate over larger periods of time in response to changes in conditions in the membrane system to change the time between consecutive bursts of bubbles. A gas supply pipe may have two or more outlets at different elevations in communication with each of two or more units or areas. The discharge of gas between two or more units or areas may be synchronized. One or more of a set of units or area may receive a supplied gas at a higher flow rate.

    Abstract: A membrane supported biofilm reactor uses modules having fine, hollow fibres, for example, made from melt spun thermoplastic polymers treated after spinning to increase their permeability to oxygen, used, for example, in tows or formed into a fabric. In one module, one or more sheets of the fabric are potted into a module to enable oxygen containing gas to be supplied to the lumens of the hollow fibres. Various reactors and processes, for example to treat wastewater, using such modules are described. In one process, oxygen travels through fibers, optionally through an attached biofilm, to oxygenate surrounding water. Mechanical, chemical and biological methods, for example endogenous respiration, are used to control the thickness of the biofilm.

    Abstract: An aerator for immersed filtering membranes has an aerator shell with openings for discharging bubbles from its upper surface and a shape capable of temporarily containing a volume of air in fluid communication with the openings. The shell is open to tank water below it and located so that discharged bubbles will rise through an assembly of the filtering membranes. The shell may be wholly or partially made of parts of the assemblies of filtering membranes. A supply of air is provided to the air space in the aerators alternating between a high flow rate and a low flow rate in short cycles of between about 10 seconds and 100 seconds. A filtration system has an inlet for adding substrate and an outlet for retentate are located so as to create a horizontal flow of substrate through the tank. Membrane assemblies are located within the horizontal flow of substrate. Aerators as described above are provided and operated as described above.
