Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) - Applications

MBRs are used in a large variety of applications, some examples are listed below.
Microfiltration membranes remove the majority of suspended solids particles and, consequently, replace conventional treatment, such as coagulation/flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, etc. The membrane's ability to retain bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms reduces the size of, or in some cases eliminates disinfection equipment.


Applications

  • On-lot treatment systems for single or multi family homes

  • Compact containerized package plants

  • Larger scale MBR plants using on-site concrete basins

  • Water reuse and recycling

  • Military camps - mobile package units 

  • Commercial users such as hotels and casinos

  • Industrial users such as steel plants, glass factories, etc.

  • Real estate developers

  • Shipbuilders

  • Small municipal communities

  • Areas with stringent wastewater effluent regulations

  • Industries forced to update current treatment facilities

  • Areas with dwindling water resources

  • Cleaning of pond water

  • Landfill leachate pre-treatment for reverse osmosis

  • Process water treatment
