Biothane - Model MBR -Membrane Bioreactors

In membrane bioreactors ultrafiltration (UF) or microfiltration (MF) membranes are used for separation of the treated water from the mixed liquor (ML). The UF/MF membranes guarantee a constant and very high effluent quality as particulate matter (SS, microorganisms) cannot pass through the membranes. Furthermore, MBR installations require less space than conventional activated sludge systems because more biomass can be retained in the system allowing a higher treatment capacity in smaller reactors.
