An Overview of Membrane Bioreactors for Anaerobic Treatment of WastewatersAM Publications
Application of Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor (AnMBR) for wastewater treatment could be an attractive alternative to
recover energy in terms of biogas. In recent years, researchers have shown that AnMBRs can be used to produce methane from
synthetic wastewater. Studies were conducted in the laboratory scale anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor for treatment of synthetic
wastewater at different organic loading rates, under thermophillic and mesophilic conditions and ranging membrane flux. These
AnMBRs performed well for COD and BOD removal from the wastewater, demonstrating the effectiveness of this device for
wastewater treatment with COD and BOD removal efficiency above 90%. Results show that the application of anaerobic
membrane bioreactors is an efficient way to retain specific bacteria that can be a key for the treatment of wastewaters under
extreme conditions. The latter would enable their application to a wide range of industrial processes with the purpose of water
recycling. The challenge for future research is finding the optimum operational conditions to control the cake layer formation,
enhancing membrane performance and reducing the membrane area requirements. This will increase the economic feasibility of
AnMBRs, enabling its full scale application. The performance of the AnMBRs as reported in literature with different substrates,
membrane fouling issues and different membrane rector configurations are presented in this paper.
MBR basics have not changed in the last 10 years but the industry landscape is nearly unrecognizable. With so many manufacturers flooding the market what will 2025 look like?
Study on Performance of Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) system at various temperatu...AM Publications
The study on performance of sidestream membrane bioreactor (MBR) was studied by varying temperature (30oC, 33oC and 40oC)
along with crossflow velocity (1m/s, 1.5m/s and 2 m/s).CFV and temperature had significant effect on performance of sidestream MBR.
Performance was studied by analysing COD removal (%), flux declination, Transmembrane pressure, mixed liquor suspended solid
concentration. Maximum COD removal was 93% is obtained at 30oC with CFV 1.5 m/s. Flux declination is large at 30oC as compared to flux
declination at 33oC and 40oC temperatures for all CFVs. Sludge production in terms of MLSS, is large at 30oC and minimum at 40oC. This
high concentration of MLSS is responsible for large COD removal as well as increased in membrane fouling which cause large flux
declination. It is observed that high CFV causes less flux declination tends to large permeate flux. By visual perception it is observed that at
higher temperature, bioreactor content was more turbid than at low temperature this means that, large bioflocs get segregated and cause fast
scouring on membrane surface, it resultsslow down of permeate flux declination. Selection parameter (SP) was used to optimize the
operational condition of MBR system. Largest value of SP was treated as optimum value for operation of sidestream MBR. Thus, condition T
= 33oC, CFV = 2 m/s gave highest SP value 27 lit/m2-hr, and may be recommended for treating wastewater of COD 1092 mg/lit. Comparison
of side stream MBR with submerged MBR system was carried out, and it is observed that sidestream MBR data is best suitable for waste
water treatment.

Wastewater Management is a Global Concern:
People think septic systems are out in the middle of nowhere when the truth of the matter is these wastewater treatment systems go where there are people…no matter how many.
These systems treat wastewater to a high degree while keeping water at its source. This type of approach to using decentralized options and potential reuse opportunity offers a solution that is sustainable, efficient and highly practical.
With any new technology or process, there can be some uncertainty and skepticism. As with anything, the improper care of the system can lead to untended consequences. Education, understanding, and knowledge of benefits can help minimize harmful impacts. We can help address questions about the design and performance requirements of onsite systems, and confirm through third-party testing that the effluent meets pre-determined water quality criteria for designated uses.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

2. Increasing Use of MBRs
• With advances in polymer industry and
decreasing membrane costs, MBRs have been
globally employed exponentially for wastewater
reclamation and reuse.
• The increased need for reclaimed water in arid
environments has encouraged the development of
new wastewater reclamation technologies. MBR
is one of these.
• A perfect technology for draught areas where
reclaimed wastewater should be reused for
various purposes to preserve water sources.
• Industrial wastewater=>reuse (textile, mining,
etc)
3. What are MBRs?
• The term ‘membrane bioreactor’ (MBR) is generally used to define
wastewater treatment processes where a perm-selective membrane eg
microfiltration or ultra filtration is integrated with a biological
process – a suspended growth bioreactor.
• MBRs differ from ‘polishing’ processes where the membrane is
employed as a discrete tertiary treatment step with no return of the
active biomass to the biological process.
• All commercial MBR processes available today use the membrane as
a filter, rejecting the solid materials which are developed by the
biological process, resulting in a clarified and disinfected product
effluent.
• A membrane bio reactor is essentially a version of the conventional
activated sludge (CAS) system. While the CAS process uses a
secondary clarifier or settlement tank for solid/liquid separation, an
MBR uses a membrane for this function. This provides a number of
advantages relating to process control and product water quality.
8. Advantages of MBRs
• High MLSS (12,000-15,000 mg/L) => low HRT => small reactor volume
=> small plant footprint area => All within a single tank!!
• Biomass separation is independent of settling; separation is via
microfiltration or ultrafiltration. No need for secondary clarification. No
settling problems such as sludge bulking . Not SVI-dependant.
• Biomass is completely retained, effluent TSS (< 1 mg/L) and turbidity is
very low.
• Due to microfiltration or ultrafiltration, provides a perfect physical
disinfection. Removals:
• 5-6 log bacteria
• 2-3 log viruses
• Complete removal of pathogenic protozoa such as the chlorine-resistant
Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
9. Acronyms and Abbreviations
• TSS=Total suspended solids
• MLSS=Mixed liquor suspended solids
• HRT=Hydraulic retention time
• SVI=Sludge Volume Index
• SRT=solids retention time
• Mg= milligram/s
10. Log Reduction
• 1 log reduction means the number of germs is 10 times smaller
• 2 log reduction means the number of germs is 100 times
smaller
• 3 log reduction means the number of germs is 1000 times
smaller
• 4 log reduction means the number of germs is 10,000 times
smaller
• 5 log reduction means the number of germs is 100,000 times
smaller
• 6 log reduction means the number of germs is 1,000,000 times
smaller
• 7 log reduction means the number of germs is 10,000,000
times smaller
11. Disadvantages
• Since a single tank, mechanically complex
• Membrane fouling (if irreversible, problem!)
• Membrane Cleaning=> Chemicals, non-continuous permeate
production
• Membrane replacement (operating costs)
13. Urban Reuse
• Irrigation of public parks and recreation centers,
athletic fields, schoolyards and playing fields,
highway median and shoulders, and landscaped areas
surrounding public building and facilities
• Irrigation of landscaped areas of single- and multi-
family residences, general washdown, and other
maintenance activities
• Irrigation of landscaped areas surrounding
commercial, office, and industrial developments
• Irrigation of golf courses
14. Urban Reuse (Cont’)
• Commercial uses such as vehicle washing facilities,
window washing, and mixing water for pesticides
and fertilizers
• Ornamental landscape uses and decorative water
features such as fountains, reflecting pools, and
waterfalls
• Dust control and concrete production for
construction projects
• Fire protection
• Toilet and urinal flushing in commercial and
industrial buildings
15. Industrial Reuse
• Evaporative cooling water
• Boiler-feed water
• Process water
• Irrigation and maintenance of plant grounds
• Tank cleanings/washings
• Others
16. Agricultural Reuse
• Agricultural sector can be a significant user of reclaimed
water.
• In areas where normal irrigation water use is restricted
due to inadequate supply or severe drought conditions,
reclaimed water would provide a reliable irrigation water
source.
• Reclaimed water is currently used to irrigate both non-
food and food crops.
17. Agricultural Reuse (Cont’)
• Considerations for agricultural reuse:
• Proper estimation of irrigation demands
• Reclaimed water quality
• TDS
• Industrial discharges of potentially toxic compounds into
the municipal sewer system
• Saltwater (chlorides) infiltration into the sewer system in
coastal areas
• System reliability. Treatment and distribution facilities must operate reliably
to meet permit conditions and the supply of reclaimed water to the
agricultural user must be reliable in quantity and quality.
18. Agricultural Reuse (Cont’)
• Impact of reclaimed water use on current
agricultural operations.
• Reclaimed water must be cost-competitive with
other irrigation water sources.
19. Groundwater Recharge
• Establishing saltwater intrusion barriers in coastal
areas
• Providing further treatment via the soil/groundwater
system for future reuse
• Augmenting potable or non-potable aquifers
• Providing storage of reclaimed water
• Controlling or preventing ground subsidence in
areas that have been over-drafting aquifers
