COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN A MEMBRANE

BIOREACTOR AND A CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM

FOR TREATING WASTEWATER SIEMENS
ABSTRACT

For this reason this paper attempts to make a comparison PROBLEM

between the current conventional treatments of wastewater
treatment and technology of membrane bioreactors (MBR), There is no single universal form of
identifying the advantages and disadvantages of each treatment, selection between a membrane
in order to establish the optimal treatment that satisfies both bioreactor and a conventional system.
business needs and quality standards of treated water Nor is there a type of membrane
which is clearly superior to another.
KEY WORDS: Bioreactor, membrane, water quality, wastewater On the market a multitude of options
treatment whose choice will depend on user
requirements according to technical
and economic criteria.
