What are the advantages of MBR against conventional activated sludge processes (CASP)?
As a wastewater treatment technology, MBR is considered to be a superior technology compared to
conventional activated sludge processes (CASP) in which a membrane replaces secondary settling
tank of the conventional ASP to separate effluent from activated sludge. The main advantages of
MBR technology compared to conventional activated sludge process are: 1) smaller aeration tank
and footprint due to the higher mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentrations and also
higher volumetric loading rate, 2) lower sludge production, and 3) improved effluent quality owing to
membrane filtration.
What kind of pre and post treatment is required for MBR systems?
The selection of pre and/or post-treatment technologies is a function of feed water quality, discharge
requirements, and application. Typically, screening is required prior to MBR in order to protect
membrane’s surface from any possible damage caused by aggregates of hair or debris.
1) To provide dissolved oxygen (DO) for maintaining a viable microorganism population for biological
treatment.
