Membrane Bioreactor

A membrane bioreactor is an activated sludge process where the clarifiers are replaced with membranes for solid separation. A membrane bioreactor is a technology integrating membrane separation and biological process.
Biological waste water treatment with submerged membrane modules in the form of membrane bioreactors (MBR) is the process of the future.
This advanced membrane technology offers operational safety, high efficiency and cost effectiveness.
Types of membrane

• Hollow Fiber MBR
• Plate and Frame MBR
• BIOCEL ®

MBR’s produce a high effluent quality which can not be achieved with typical conventional systems. For the first time the new BIO-CEL ® - module combines the advantages of submerged hollow fiber and flat modules.
This application of self-supporting membrane sheets allows the construction of modules with high packing density. 
Advantages of the new BIO-CEL ® - Module:

• Absolute separation of bacteria and suspended solids
• Separation of adsorbed viruses
• Resistant to clogging e.g. with hairs and fibers or sludge
• High packing density due to self-supporting membrane sheets
• Efficient use of surface area by a hydro - dynamically optimized design
• Effective membrane cleaning with permeate
