Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) systems are the most advanced and highest efficiency wastewater treatment technology today, combining traditional biological wastewater treatment methods and advanced membrane technology (ultrafiltration or microfiltration) in a single structure.
In classical activated sludge systems, gravity-based final settling basins, which take up a huge area, are used to separate bacteria from the water after biological treatment, and there is always a risk of sludge escape in these basins.
In MBR systems, the final settling basin is completely eliminated, and porous membrane modules placed inside or next to the biological basin are integrated instead.
These porous membranes completely block all active sludge (biomass), bacteria, and suspended solids in the biological basin, while allowing only the passage of treated water.
The advantages offered by MBR technology are revolutionary: Since the bacterial concentration (MLSS) in the basin can be kept 3-4 times higher than classical systems, biological basin volumes and thus the footprint of the facility shrink by up to 70%.
The quality of the effluent water obtained from MBR systems is so high that;
the water is completely clear, contains no suspended solids, and is free from bacteria and viruses.
This water can be directly used as irrigation water without any additional treatment, recovered to industrial processes, or fed into Reverse Osmosis systems to establish a closed-loop water cycle within the enterprise.
In the treatment of industrial wastewater with high pollution loads and water recovery projects, our MBR systems offer your business the highest level of technological assurance.
