BIO-CEL Modules - MBR-Technology - Brochure

Tighter discharge regulations, urbanization and the increase in water recycling have made Membrane-Biological-Reactors (MBR) the leading innovation in wastewater treatment through conventional activated sludge. Traditionally, activated sludge treatment relies upon solids settling in a secondary clarifier to separate the biomass from the treated wastewater. This process has the disadvantage of running at a lower MLSS (Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids), thus requiring more space and producing lower quality effluent.
