The SAF-MBR demonstration plant provides secondary treatment to about 24,000 gpd of primary-treated wastewater. The fluidized bed is on the left; the membrane tank is on the right with the controls in the center.
A demonstration project by Silicon Valley Clean Water with Stanford University researchers shows that anaerobic secondary treatment of wastewater can be effective and more efficient than traditional aerobic processes.
Anaerobic treatment has several sustainability advantages,...
