AnMBR
Anaerobic MBR
Aquatech’s AnMBR (Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor) technology
provides cost-efficient wastewater treatment and recycling to a broad
range of industries at ultra-high fluxes (30-35 LMH), low footprint (~50%
lower than competing anaerobic products) and low excess sludge (40%
reduction from competing processes). Furthermore, the BioMOD AnMBR
is the first such technology operable in both mesophilic and thermophilic
conditions due to its use of CeraQ™ ultrafiltration membranes.

AnMBR
Robust. Modular. Efficient.
Typical Applications
Aging infrastructure and increasing demand for high capacity biologi-
cal water treatment have created a need for increasingly efficient, Food & Beverage
compact and affordable solutions. Systems meeting these demands
must also be easy to install, and accommodate a wide range of feed Pulp & Paper
water conditions. Aquatech’s BioMOD AnMBR consistently delivers all Refineries
of these benefits, along with added value of flexible design, rapid
implementation and automation developed to further reduce labor Ethanol Facilities
and system operating costs.
Distilleries
Anaerobic treatment methods are being increasingly adopted by
industrial end-users, due to their ability to treat both suspended &
soluble COD with methane biofuel as byproduct. BioMOD AnMBR
combines the advantages of anaerobic digestion and ceramic mem-
brane filtration to provide a complete solution for any high-strength
COD wastewater treatment application. This technology achieves
differentiation from competing anaerobic treatment technologies due
to its high flux, small footprint and low excess sludge.

Package Features
• External membrane design eliminates the need for direct maintenance of biological reactor enabling
simplified operations.

• Unlike existing AnMBR’s, Aquatech’s system can tolerate very high temperatures (up to 60 °C), suitable for
biomass separation in a large range of feedwaters.

• High rate of biogas production, resulting in energy neutral to energy positive operation.

• Packages can be designed to operate in series or parallel modes for flexibility in effluent quality and flow rate,
respectively.

• The packaged system is shipped in minimum number of units for fast installation and assembly at site.
