Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) compacted Systems PLC automatic control treatment capacity 200T/D

Membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology is well positioned to play a critical role in reuse applications, both domestically and internationally. Technological advances over the past 10 years have brought MBR costs down dramatically and no other wastewater treatment process is as efficient and effective. From retrofits to decentralized plants, MBRs are a versatile treatment platform that can help change perception and turn wastewater into a viable resource. When looking into advanced water reuse applications, MBRs represent the best overall investment a plant owner can make.

Membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology, which combines biological-activated sludge process and membrane filtration has became more popular, abundant, and accepted in recent years for the treatment of many types of wastewaters, whereas the conventional activated sludge (CAS) process cannot cope with either composition of wastewater or fluctuations of wastewater flow rate. MBR technology is also used in cases where demand on the quality of effluent exceeds the capability of CAS. Although MBR capital and operational costs exceed the costs of conventional process, it seems that the upgrade of conventional process occurs even in cases when conventional treatment works well. It can be related with increase of water price and need for water reuse as well as with more stringent regulations on the effluent quality. Along with better understanding of emerging contaminants in wastewater, their biodegradability, and with their inclusion in new regulations, MBR may become a necessary upgrade of existing technology in order to fulfill the legal requirements in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs)
