Table 1.

Operation settings of MABR 1–4. The column “Removal of detached biofilm” refers to the removal of suspended biomass from the recirculation line; “not executed” means that the removal of suspended biomass happened only via the effluent; else, the period between cleaning the sieve in the recirculation line is given. MABR 3 and 4 have not been operating from day 0–183, thus no values are given for this phase.
