MBR Wastewater Treatment
What is Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Technology?
A Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) combines traditional biological wastewater treatment with advanced membrane filtration. Unlike conventional systems that rely on clarifiers, MBR systems use ultrafiltration membranes to achieve superior separation of solids and microorganisms.
This integration allows the reactor to operate at higher biomass concentrations (MLSS up to 12,000 mg/L), delivering high removal efficiency, reduced sludge generation, and compact system design.
With MBR systems, treated water is consistently high quality — clear, pathogen-free, and safe for reuse in industrial, agricultural, and municipal applications.
How Does a MBR Wastewater Treatment Work?
Biological Reactor (Activated Sludge)
The biological reactor in an MBR system breaks down organic pollutants, nitrogen, and other contaminants.
Membrane Filtration (Ultrafiltration / Microfiltration)
Membranes ensure precise separation, blocking bacteria, suspended solids & pathogens while allowing only clean water to pass.
High Biomass Environment
Thanks to the design of the Membrane Bioreactor, MLSS levels remain high, enhancing pollutant breakdown and treatment reliability.
Why Choose Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Technology?
- Superior Organic Matter Removal – MBR achieves higher pollutant reduction compared to conventional activated sludge systems.
- Consistently High-Quality Effluent – The membrane guarantees stable effluent quality, making MBR systems ideal for water reuse.
- Compact and Space-Saving Design – No secondary clarifiers needed; perfect for urban or restricted sites.
- Operational Stability – MBR technology resists fluctuations in influent quality and hydraulic loads.
- Lower Sludge Production – Longer sludge age in the Membrane Bioreactor means less waste disposal.
- Scalable & Modular – Easy to expand capacity by adding new membrane modules.
- IoT & Automation Ready – Fully automated control via PLC with remote monitoring.
Easy Installation, Wide Applications
Flexible MBR Installation for Any Site
- Containerized MBR Systems – Quick plug-and-play setup in ISO containers for portability and easy expansion.
- Compact Footprint – Membrane Bioreactor units require minimal space, produce no odors, and avoid insect problems.
- Scalable & Modular – Start small and expand with additional MBR membrane modules as wastewater volumes increase.
Applications of MBR Systems
- Industrial Water Reuse – High-quality effluent from MBR technology supports manufacturing and cooling processes.
- Agricultural Irrigation – Treated water safe for crops and soil enrichment.
- Toilet Flushing & Municipal Reuse – MBR treated water reduces fresh water demand.
- Environmental Protection – Discharge meets strict global wastewater standards.
