Membrane Bioreactor
Membrane bioreactor (MBR) is a compact wastewater treatment technology for municipal and industrial wastewaters.
Membrane bioreactor (MBR) is a compact wastewater treatment technology for municipal and industrial wastewaters. MBR is an efficient biological treatment technology that combines biological treatment and membrane separation processes of microfiltration and ultrafiltration. The membranes act as filters that remove the solids formed during biological processes giving a pathogen free and clear product. In comparison with conventional methods, it can control sludge bulking and poor quality effluent. Figure 1 shows schematic diagram of a submerge MBR.
Advanced Water Treatment : MBR, Electrocoagulation, ZLD
Combining the cutting-edge technology of Membrane Bioreactor, the electrochemical precision of Electrocoagulation, and the sustainability focus of Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD), presents a holistic approach in water treatment, ensuring high-quality purification while minimizing environmental impact.
Applications of MBR
MBRs are usually applied to those untreated effluent streams that have readily biodegradable organic carbon content as in food and beverage sector. MBR has been applied to treat effluent of various industrial sectors including;
- Pharmaceutical industry that have active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)
- Pulp and paper industry that have high concentrations of BOD, COD and suspended solids
- Textile industry having effluent high in toxicity and color
- Petroleum industry
- Ship effluents
