Membrane bioreactor (MBR)

MBR Technology is basically used for waste water recovery & reuse that combines membrane process like ultrafiltration or microfiltration and conventional activated sludge treatment to remove organic matter from the wastewater. This technology in providing superior quality of treated water and lowering sludge production.
MBR can be used in small to large operational units, municipal, commercial, and industrial water and wastewater treatment plants.

Advantages offered by membrane bioreactors:

  • They exhibit high removal efficiency, better effluent quality, and the ability to remove a number of contaminants such as nitrogen, phosphorus, bacteria, and suspended solids.
  • They also tend to less space because they operate at higher volumetric loading rates than conventional systems.
