Advancing Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor Treatment for Value Addition to Starch Based High Particulate Wastes

废物的管理和处置在遵守环境法规方面对许多行业提出了挑战。增加工业产生的废料的价值将对工业产生经济效益。有必要建立有效和可持续的基础设施，通过提取有价值的产品，有可能增加废物的价值。与传统的厌氧生物反应器相比，厌氧膜生物反应器（AnMBR）正变得越来越流行，特别是对于具有高固体含量的可生物降解的工业废物的处理，因为它们能够在较长的持续时间内保留大量的活性生物质，产生较少量的污泥，并且以较小的占地面积获得上级质量的流出物。拟议研究的主要目的是通过开发可生物降解，高固体和淀粉基马铃薯加工废物的处理和增值的创新配置来推进AnMBR的应用。本项目将研究其在效率、有价值产品（乳酸和生物能源）产量和膜性能方面的可行性。 拟议研究的结果将进一步加强和推进与加拿大工业合作的AnMBR的持续创新，在工业废物增值管理领域，特别是食品加工和纸浆生产行业产生的废物，实现膜集成厌氧生物反应器技术的商业可行性和可持续应用。

Management and disposal of waste poses a challenge for many industries in complying with environmental regulations. Adding value to the waste materials generated from industries would be economically beneficial for industries. There is a need for effective and sustainable infrastructure that has potential to add value to waste materials through the extraction of valuable products. Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) are becoming popular compared to conventional anaerobic bioreactors, especially for the treatment of biodegradable industrial waste with high solids content, because of their ability to retain a high quantity of active biomass for a longer duration, produce lower quantities of sludge, and superior quality of effluent with smaller footprints. The main aim of the proposed research is to advance the application of AnMBRs through the development of innovative configurations for the treatment and value addition to biodegradable, high-solids, and starch-based potato processing wastes. Its feasibility with respect to efficiency, yield of valuable products (lactic acid and bioenergy), and membrane performance will be investigated in this project. The results of the proposed research will further strengthen and advance an on-going innovation in AnMBRs in collaboration with a Canadian industry for a commercially viable and sustainable application of membrane-integrated anaerobic bioreactor technology in the area of value-added management of industrial wastes, particularly those generated from food processing and pulp production industries.
