Article Synopsis
- Scientists are studying how tiny particles interact with living things in wastewater treatment because it's really important for cleaning water.
- They used to rely on methods that took a lot of time and work to analyze pictures under a microscope.
- Now, they created a new technique using deep learning that can quickly and accurately analyze these images, making the process over 13% better in performance and much faster than the old method.
This study reports the effects of microaeration on a laboratory-scale AnMBR (MA-AnMBR) fed with synthetic concentrated domestic sewage. The imposed oxygen load mimics the oxygen load coming from a dissolved air flotation (DAF) unit, establishing an anaerobic digester-DAF (AD-DAF) combination with sludge recycling. Results showed a reduced COD concentration in the MA-AnMBR permeate compared with the AnMBR permeate, from 90 to 74 mgCOD L, and a concomitant 27% decrease in biogas production.

TMP and SMX were removed at 97 and 86%, indicating that micro-aeration did not hamper their removal. These antibiotics only affected the pH and biogas composition of the process, with a significant change in pH from 7.
