Background

• Testing conducted at the Ridgewood Estates WWTP – Milford, Michigan

• Test Period: Nine months (October – June)

Testing Program: Physical/Chemical Phosphorus Removal through a

Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) System. Reduction of nitrogen compounds and

Pilot Plant Objectives

• Show capability of MBR system to reduced effluent TP to < 0.03 mg/l

Demonstrate ability of system to removed conventional pollutants including  

nitrogen species

• Demonstrate long‐term system operation with little or no maintenance

Produce design information regarding sustainable flux at varying MLSS 

concentrations and waste temperatures
