A membrane bioreactor (MBR) is a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment system that combines biological treatment with membrane filtration. It provides a highly efficient and compact solution for treating industrial and municipal wastewater. By using a membrane to separate solids and liquids, MBR technology significantly improves water quality, reducing suspended solids, pathogens, and organic contaminants. This innovative approach to wastewater treatment allows for the reuse of treated water, making it a sustainable solution for industries looking to reduce their water footprint and comply with environmental regulations. MBR systems, such as the LUCAS® MBR, are particularly valuable in sectors where space is limited, and high-quality effluent is required.

LUCAS systems for advanced aerobic wastewater treatment solutions. Aerobic wastewater treatment is a biological process used to treat sewage and industrial wastewater by using oxygen to break down organic matter. Unlike anaerobic treatment, which operates without oxygen, aerobic treatment relies on the presence of oxygen to support the growth of microorganisms (aerobic bacteria) that consume the organic pollutants in the wastewater. This process not only significantly reduces the amount of organic matter and waste but also transforms them into stable forms, such as carbon dioxide and water, making the effluent safer for discharge or further treatment. The digestion of these organic pollutants is facilitated by the aerobic bacteria, ensuring effective treatment of sewage and other wastewater types.

Membrane filtration is a water treatment process that uses a semipermeable membrane to separate contaminants from water. It is widely used in various industries, such as the food and beverage industry, municipal wastewater treatment, and industrial effluent management. This process is highly effective in removing particles, bacteria, and even dissolved substances, providing a higher quality of treated water compared to traditional filtration methods. A common application of membrane filtration is the Membrane Bioreactor (MBR). An MBR combines biological wastewater treatment with membrane filtration, offering advanced purification by removing both organic and inorganic pollutants.
