Membrane bioreactors (MBR) are powerful systems for the biological treatment of wastewater. The biological treatment stage performs a role similar to a conventional activated sludge system. However, instead of separating activated sludge and clean wastewater in a secondary sedimentation tank by gravity, membrane filtration is employed.
As a result, the filtrate contains no solid matter and virtually no bacteria and microorganisms.
Additionally, the concentration of sludge in the activated sludge tanks is not limited by the performance of the secondary sedimentation system, allowing for work with higher sludge concentrations. This results in complete solutions that are highly compact.
Membrane bioreactors are often the technology of choice for meeting stringent purity requirements. They can also effectively enhance the performance of existing plants. Suitable for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment applications, membrane bioreactors are a key technology for water reuse. A specific preliminary treatment method can be incorporated to ensure appropriate operation and create a straightforward and economical membrane filtration solution..
