The combination of conventional wastewater technology with membrane filters offers an effective solution to challenges such as microplastics, antibiotic-resistant germs and pathogens in wastewater.
Membrane wastewater treatment plants (MBR) deliver a water quality thousands of times better from a microbial point of view compared to conventional wastewater treatment plants – with a significantly smaller footprint for the overall plant.
= a biological wastewater treatment process in wastewater treatment plants consisting of:
Biological stage in which microorganisms in the activated sludge are used to degrade wastewater components.
Secondary sedimentation (clarifier) for the separation of sludge and treated wastewater by sedimentation
= combination of classical wastewater technology with membrane filters in so-called membrane bioreactors (MBR).
Membrane filters enable higher sludge concentrations in the activated sludge stage leading to smaller tank volumes.
The separation of sludge and treated wastewater is achieved by the membranes – thus eliminating the need for secondary sedimentation (clarifier).
Significantly improving water quality due to the barrier effect of the membranes.
Previous “conventional” MBR modules have the following disadvantages:
In an inefficient aeration system surplus air can cause oxygen contamination in downstream denitrification processes.
