Membrane Bioreactor for Wastewater Treatment

Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) systems provides numerous economic and operational advantages in contrast to conservative wastewater treatment plants. MBR systems eliminate the need for secondary clarifiers and tertiary treatment. This permits an increased performance with a smaller footprint. This process produces the highest quality residue without any addition or generation of chemicals that are hazardous to environment

Membrane bioreactors, also known as membrane biological reactor systems or MBRs, encompass a unique wastewater treatment method designed for several municipal and industrial applications. The need to reprocess wastewater and stricter government wastewater regulations make membrane bioreactor technology a feasible solution for present and future wastewater treatment.

Since a decade, membrane bioreactor for wastewater treatment has become increasingly popular and the recent developments in membrane manufacturing have permitted production of better quality membranes at a lower price.  MBR System Wastewater Treatment is considered to be economically reasonable compared to the conventional water treatment costs. 

The technology of membrane separation of activated sludge, commonly referred to as “membrane bioreactor”, is a blend of activated sludge treatment together with a separation of biological sludge by micro or ultra-filtration membranes to create particle-free effluent. This system is a combination of biological processes and membrane technology to treat wastewater and to provide organic and suspended solids removal. The physical barricade enforced by membrane system provides total disinfection of the treated effluent.

Membrane technology is regarded as the best method to achieve additional treatment of sewage effluent.  Usage of membrane technology for effluent treatment is superior to that of existing process options.

Following are the advantages of Membrane Bioreactor Technology:

1.     High effluent quality
2.     Reduced volume requirements
3.     No sludge settling problems.

Membrane bioreactor system is becoming one of the flourishing technologies in wastewater treatment field. With several years of experience in this field, EFFWA delivers advanced MBR solutions for your needs.
