A method for improving flux in a membrane bioreactor

摘要

The invention pertains to a method(s) of improving flux in a membrane bioreactor by adding an effective amount of cationic, amphoteric, and zwitterionic polymers, or a combination thereof. The membrane bioreactor impacted by the addition of these polymers is made up of a combination of anaerobic reactors, anoxic reactors, and aerobic reactors and anaerobic digesters.
