MEMBRANE BIOREACTOR (MBR) TECHNOLOGY

biological degradation
The combination of two processes
membrane separation

The suspended solids and microorganisms responsible for

By a membrane filtration unit
biodegradation are separated from the treated water

responsible for the degradation

Biological reactor of the compounds present in
MBRs are composed of two main parts wastewater.

Membrane module responsible the physical

separation of the mixing liquor
SUBMERGED MEMBRANES OR SUBMERGED SYSTEM

Eliminating the pumping needs and taking

advantage of the mechanical agitation of
the aeration

The membranes are located inside the biological reactor itself

 EXTERNAL MEMBRANES OR EXTERNAL LOOP SYSTEM

The advantages of this model are that the membrane module itself serves as a cleaning container for them
and their handling is avoided.

Operation of the plant with
higher sludge concentrations
minimizing the formation of
excess sludge
can be controlled
The membranes retain independently and with this
suspended solids and you can maintain a high
colloidal substances, allowing sludge age that allows the
reuse for various uses. development of slow-
growing microorganisms
High cost of implementation
and exploitation
