ECO CARE ENGINEERING PVT. LTD, CHENNAI, INDIA (Feb’08-Mar’09)

Position: ENVIRONMENTAL FIELD TECHNICIAN

(Sludge treatment and Wastewater treatment)

• Worked on the designing techniques and operational options of Submerged Membrane Bio-Reactor (SMBR)

System for Municipal Waste Water Treatment Process.

• Hands-on-experience on the configurations of Submerged Membrane Bio-Reactor – Hollow Fiber Capillary,

Plate and frame Membranes and their design conditions.

• Worked on the membrane fouling issues by performing the constant transmembrane pressure (TMP) filtration.

• Worked on Fouling Mechanism, Fouling Control and Elimination by optimizing the operating conditions and

Curative Methods.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Developed Process Flow Diagrams and Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (PFD’s & P&ID’s) for Membrane Bio-

Reactor.

Developed Water Report for the Project:

• An Anaerobic submerged membrane reactor – PILOT SCALE was used to treat the produced water from

offshore oil reservoirs at up to 4.7 barrels per day having high salinity(2-5% TDS) and COD up to 50000 mg/l.

• Reduction of 97% COD was achieved and 99% organic compounds like aliphatic hydrocarbons, monoaromatic

hydrocarbons, aliphatic acids, aromatic acids and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Metal removal up

to 90% .

• Due to change in flux rate reversible fouling of membrane filter was observed. Restored permeability by in-situ

cleaning at pH2-2.5 and also oxidative treatment using sodium hypochlorite.

• At the time of pilot trial, during winter condition there was limited biological heat production and the

temperature pilot plant was low 15degrees C. Three months later it increased to 27degrees C which increased

the ambient temperature.

• Observed the increasing coincidence of operating temperature and the influent salinity.

• After measuring the COD concentration, the influent flow was adjusted to calculate the Food to

Microorganism F/M ratio varied with time.

The performance of hollow-fiber membrane was measured and assessed during 3 different operating

•

conditions and the permeability of the membrane under different operating conditions was also observed to

know the declination of the membrane.
