Advanced Treatment – MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) Systems
Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Systems are used for the treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater at a higher quality level and often in order to recover the wastewater. Development of the technology and the need for recovery of wastewater turn into different applications where biological wastewater treatment systems are developed and implemented together with MBR technology. With the use of MBR Technology, high quality treated water is obtained and space requirements for the plant are reduced. Therefore, existing space can be used to increase the plant capacity easily in modernization of old conventional plants.
MBR membranes are manufactured as hollow fiber or flat sheet types. MBR modules run inside the biological treatment reactors in a submerged manner. Thanks to the high concentration of activated sludge generated in the biological treatment reactor, MBR modules operate more efficiently and a flow on the membrane surface is always ensured in order to avoid clogging that may occur on the membrane surface.
Applications of MBR technology is growing extremely fast in the world and in our country. Because it is a sensitive system, proper design and consideration of operating conditions are of particular importance.
Uses of MBR Systems:
- Domestic wastewater recovery
- Industrial wastewater recovery
- Increasing capacity in conventional plants using the same or less space
- Modernization of old plants
- Facilities with a small area to build a Treatment Plant upon
