Kubota Membrane Europe Ltd. products

is applied to multiple wastewater treatment processes including domestic/rural, sewage and industrial all over the world. The flow pattern across the membrane is a cross-flow type, separating the mixed liquor into permeate (treated water) and activated sludge. The membrane unit consists of a diffuser case and a membrane case (membrane case incorporates multiple membrane cartridges).

This unit both ferments food waste in order to reduce volume substantially and collects biogas from the fermentation for clean energy. Activities of methane generating bacteria are susceptible to suffocation by ammonium. However, the submerged membranes separate ammonium to maintain a high concentration of methane generating bacteria. Kubota`s membrane methane fermentation unit is used mainly in food processing plants.

Kubota MBR represents the best available technology for municipal wastewater treatment and reuse, and consistently meets the regenerated effluent quality requirements of the World Health Organization and State of California’s Title 22 as well as EU`s Bathing Water directive.

MBR process is especially interesting for highly biodegradable waste such as Food & Beverage industry effluents. Kubota membranes have proved exceptionally robust to variable loading conditions, aggressive pH and temperatures, intense chemical cleaning and toxic effluents. Kubota MBR technology has been applied in more than 2 550 global and 340 European industrial plants. MBR plant using Kubota technology for galvanic industry (Austria 2006). Courtesy of Aggerwasser.

A decentralized Kubota MBR package plant offers benefits such as small footprint, low maintenance, sparse de-sludging and treated effluent fit for reuse. Applications include domestic plants, containerized emergency relief plants and pre-fabricated works for small communities. Our MBR compact technology has been applied in more than 2 100 package plants worldwide.
