PRODUCTS / Membrane Bioreactor Systems

In membrane bioreactors, bio-reactor and membrane technologies are combined as the name suggests.

After biological treatment, solid / liquid separation is carried out using ultrafiltration (UF) or microfiltration (MF) membranes instead of a sedimentation pond.

When this purification method is compared to conventional biological treatment processes, it offers high chemical oxygen demand removal advantage for less biodegradable wastes. Eliminating some of the negative effects of conventional treatment methods, these systems will have an important place among future treatment technologies.

The purpose of membrane bioreactors is the reduction of biodegradable components, microbes, turbidity and surfactants.

Where membrane bioreactors are used in particular, these systems are very suitable for residential areas with low flow rates such as hotels and resorts.

As well as widespread use in the recovery of domestic wastewater, they are also used for treatment of industrial wastewater. In recent years, large-capacity facilities have also started using them.

Benefits of Membrane Bioreactors

• The aeration basin can be designed to be about one third of that required in conventional methods. Thus, over 70% of space is saved in residential areas and construction sites.
• Provides high healthy water standards and to output water of ideal quality.
• Low reactor volume and footprint.
• Reduced net sludge production.
• High potential biomass concentration.

Uses of Membrane Bioreactors

• Treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater
• Cases where particularly limitations for discharge to water basins are in question
• Purification of waters with high pollution levels
• Projects towards obtaining irrigation water from and recycling wastewater
• Projects where there is inadequate space for the use of conventional methods
• Project where wastewater treatment plants are inadequate in capacity increases
• Recovery of wastewater in processes with high water consumption
