Description
Product details
An MBR ETP is a Membrane Bioreactor Effluent Treatment Plant. It combines a conventional biological wastewater treatment process with a physical membrane filtration process, offering a highly effective method for treating industrial wastewater. This advanced technology allows industries to produce high-quality treated water that can be safely discharged or reused. MBR technology offers significant benefits over conventional wastewater treatment systems: Superior water quality: The membrane barrier produces exceptionally high-quality effluent with very low levels of suspended solids, turbidity, and pathogens. The treated water is often clear, odorless, and suitable for direct reuse in non-potable applications. Compact footprint: By combining the biological treatment and solid-liquid separation into one step, MBR plants require up to 50% less space than conventional systems. This is ideal for industries with limited land or for retrofitting existing facilities. Reduced sludge production: The long sludge retention time (SRT) in the bioreactor promotes greater biological degradation, resulting in less excess sludge. This significantly lowers sludge handling and disposal costs. Process stability: MBRs are more resilient to fluctuations in influent wastewater quality and flow rates (known as “shock loads”). The physical membrane barrier ensures consistent effluent quality even under variable conditions. Automated operation: Modern MBR systems are highly automated, reducing the need for constant manual monitoring and intervention. Common applications Due to their effectiveness and versatility, MBR ETPs are used across many industries and scenarios: Industrial wastewater treatment: Pharmaceutical, textile, chemical, food and beverage, and other industries with high-strength wastewater use MBRs to meet strict environmental regulations. Wastewater reuse: MBR-treated water is excellent for reclaiming and reusing water for purposes like irrigation, cooling towers, and industrial processes, reducing freshwater consumption. Decentralized treatment: MBR package plants are modular and can be installed quickly for facilities like hotels, resorts, hospitals, and housing complexes, where connecting to a municipal plant is not feasible. Landfill leachate treatment: The technology is effective for treating the highly concentrated contaminants often found in landfill leachate.
