MBR Technology for Wastewater Treatment

MBR technology combines the processes of biological treatment and membrane filtration within one stage. The microbes digest the contaminants while membrane filtration is used instead of sedimentation tanks. This is the basis of MBR wastewater treatment, and effluent quality often beats that of a clarifier. Because the pores are so fine, MBR in wastewater treatment setups skip tertiary filtration. Membrane bioreactors need less floor space, useful where land is limited.

MBR Wastewater Treatment System

A MBR wastewater treatment system follows a sequence from raw water to permeate.

1. Pre-treatment is for the removal of dirt and grit.
2. Biotreatment allows microorganisms to eat the pollutants present inside the tank.
3. The MBR membrane step separates permeate from the mixed liquor.
4. Disinfection or reuse prepares water for discharge or reuse.

This setup fits municipal wastewater, industrial wastewater, sewage treatment, water reuse, and containerized wastewater treatment, and MBR technology keeps quality steady throughout.

FAQs

What is an MBR membrane?
An MBR membrane is the filtration component that replaces a clarifier in a plant. Its pores are fine, under one micron, holding back suspended solids and microorganisms. Treated water passes through as permeate while solids stay in the tank. Membranes come as submerged elements or complete modules with a frame skid.

How does MBR technology work in wastewater treatment?
MBR technology pairs an aeration tank, where bacteria digest organic matter, with a membrane filtering mixed liquor. Instead of a secondary clarifier, the membrane pulls permeate from the tank under gentle suction. This keeps biomass concentrated, speeding treatment and reducing the plant footprint.

What is an MBR wastewater treatment system?
The MBR wastewater treatment process involves the flow of the water through pre-treatment, biological treatment, membrane filtration and disinfection or reuse. It is built around one or more membrane bioreactor units matched to the site’s flow. Municipal, industrial, and containerized packages use this arrangement, adjusted for capacity.

What is the difference between MBR and UF?
MBR combines biological treatment with membrane filtration in one tank, treating wastewater and separating solids. UF, or ultrafiltration, is a standalone filtration stage placed after biological treatment or used to polish treated water. MBR does two jobs at once, while UF handles filtration alone.

How much does an MBR membrane cost?
Pricing for an MBR membrane depends on membrane area, material, and project scale, with no single fixed number. Small lab units cost far less than modules built for a municipal plant treating large daily volumes. An accurate figure needs flow rate and water quality data shared with a supplier.

What other water treatment processes does Hinada offer?
Hinada offers various water treatment processes, including UF membrane, PVDF MBR Modular, Packaged MBR System, EDI System, Industrial RO System, Ultrafiltration Plant, Wastewater Treatment Plant, and Dissolved Air Flotation Machine, depending on the treatment requirements.

MBR Technology for Wastewater Reclamation and Treatment

In the MBR procedure, the system combines the activated sludge treatment with the membrane of the liquid-solid separation procedure. The membrane component uses low-pressure microfiltration & ultra-filtration membranes & eliminates the requirement for clarification & tertiary filtration. We offer the top quality MBR membrane that can be physically installed in the bioreactor tank or a separate tank. For most of the procedures submerging membranes in a bioreactor tank proves to offer the most efficient & cost-effective solution.

Our MBR membrane is used in the MBR process have very small pore sizes that are ranging from 0.04 – 0.4 microns. Almost complete separation of the suspended solids from mixed liquor can be achieved. It is the fact, along with the basic design results in dramatic reductions in the contaminants. The MBR process combines triggered sludge treatment with the membrane for liquid-solid separation. When MBR can attain almost complete separation of the suspended solids & dramatic reduction in the contaminants, it is prone to membrane fouling. Luckily, the recent advent of PTFE membranes & improved system designs has minimized need for membrane maintenance to prevent fouling.

Still, MBR is not without its drawbacks, the largest of which is membrane fouling-no surprise given the operating conditions to which the membranes are exposed. Fouling gradually reduces process efficiency causing cross-membrane pressures to increase or permeate flows to decrease depending whether the process is operated under constant pressure or constant flux conditions respectively. While automated cleaning regimens minimize the impact of membrane fouling, the cleaning and replacement must still be analyzed and factored into the overall analysis of MBR viability for any project.

As a leader in the development of industrial & municipal wastewater treatment systems, Hinada has the technical expertise to design & build wastewater & sewage treatment facilities for every industry. Beyond the wastewater, our team focuses on refining & expanding the water & wastewater treatment methods we presently employ thus, we can meet the most difficult challenges head-on with our top-notch innovation.
