PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF MBR TECHNOLOGY WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AT SOHAR PORT-A CASE STUDY

The wastewater generated from the household is nearly 80% of their intake. Most of the wastewater treatment plants were using activated sludge process to treat sewage. The treatment efficiency of activated sludge process is less than 90%. The latest technologies in the wastewater treatment are sequencing batch reactor and membrane bioreactor. The problem of membrane bioreactor technology is fouling. Due to fouling the flux of the filtration is decreasing. The aim of this project is to evaluate the treatment efficiency of MBR technology. The influent and effluent samples were collected from the Sohar Port were collected and analyzed as per the standard methods for the examination of water and wastewater. The treatment efficiency was calculated. The mean BOD removal efficiency was 97.6%. The mean COD removal efficiency was 96.5%.
