Membrane
Bioreactor (MBR) - Microfiltration
MBRs combine conventional biological activated sludge treatment with membrane filtration and are used to treat municipal and industrial wastewater. Membrane modules are directly immersed in the activated sludge. The activated sludge is separated from the liquid as it passes through the membrane modules. Conventional sedimentation processes are not required as the small pores of a microfiltration membrane separate suspended matter, bacteria, and viruses (pathogens) from the process liquid. The use of membranes instead of a clarifier guaranties a consistent high quality effluent.
A3’s plate microfiltration modules use Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF) membranes having a pore size of 0.1 µm. The plate membrane modules are fabricated with flat sheet membranes attached to supporting plates separated by a fixed distance of approximately 1/4-inch. The modules are manufactured in discrete sizes that allow for flexible plant design:
