Operating Mode<br />

Simple Intermediate Advanced<br />

Model assumes flow<br />

in equals flow out, and<br />

there is no change in<br />

reactor volume. All<br />

incoming flow is<br />

assumed to exit via the<br />

filter and waste flow<br />

stream<br />

Filter operation is<br />

ignored<br />

Filter-cake solids<br />

removal from<br />

cross-flow aeration is<br />

ignored, but oxygen<br />

transfer from the<br />

cross-flow air to the<br />

bulk liquid is<br />

calculated and<br />

included in the<br />

biological activity<br />

The solids capture rate<br />

determines what<br />

fraction of the mixed<br />

liquor solids remain in<br />

the reactor. These<br />

solids remain<br />

suspended in the bulk<br />

liquid.<br />

Required membrane<br />

flux is determined<br />

based on influent flow<br />

and waste flow to<br />

ensure the liquid<br />

volume in the reactor<br />

is constant<br />

Users must specify<br />

TMP,<br />

backwash/relaxation<br />

cycles, and cross-flow<br />

aeration<br />

Both solids removal<br />

and oxygen transfer<br />

are considered for<br />

cross-flow aeration<br />

The solids capture rate<br />

determines what<br />

fraction of the mixed<br />

solids remains in the<br />

reactor. These solids<br />

make up the filter<br />

cake, and can be<br />

returned to the bulk<br />

liquid through<br />

backwashing or<br />

cross-flow aeration.<br />

Membrane flux is<br />

determined from filter<br />

model. Reactor<br />

volume increases and<br />

decreases depending<br />

on the difference<br />

between flow in and<br />

flow out. A controller<br />

is provided to manage<br />

the tank level<br />

same as intermediate<br />

same as intermediate<br />

same as intermediate<br />

There is no difference in the biological model when using simple,<br />

intermediate, or advanced modes.<br />
