| Abstract | Anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) treatment of a simulated domestic wastewater was evaluated at psychrophilic temperatures of 15, 12, 9, 6, and 3 °C. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal >95% was achieved at temperatures as low as 6 °C, but fell to 86% at 3 °C. As temperature decreased, soluble COD in the bioreactor increased suggesting a reduction in suspended biomass activity. The high total COD removal was maintained via biological activity in the membrane biofilm, which resulted in significant dissolved methane oversaturation in the permeate. Sequencing of 16S rRNA suggested that the biofilm's metabolic diversity increased as temperature decreased in response to a greater flux of complex organics into the biofilm due to temperature-based suspended biomass inhibition. Hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis as opposed to aceticlastic methanogenesis was the preferred pathway in the biofilm, but not in the suspended biomass. This research demonstrated that AnMBR treatment of domestic wastewater at very low temperatures is feasible. However, it is important to develop technologies for dissolved methane recovery and to consider strategies to improve suspended biomass activity at low temperatures to decrease the reliance on biofilm treatment thereby decreasing dissolved methane oversaturation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
