Membrane Bio-Reactor

Membrane Bio-Reactor (MBR) is the latest advancement in the field of waste water treatment. Using membranes to treat and recycle sewage, these systems give the best quality of treated sewage. Today, Thermax provides solutions in both submerged type as well as side stream type membrane. These solutions are the best in class and cost effective.
Advantages
  • Produces high quality treated water; this can be directly fed to RO
  • Elimintes secondary clarifier, filteration and disinfection units
  • It has no sludge settling problems
  • Reduced tank volumes – almost 25% of ASP and up to 50% of that of SBR
  • Reduces construction cost
  • Small footprint due to high concentration of biomass
  • Low sludge generation due to long sludge age
  • More robust to load variations
  • Free from regular problems like filamentous growth, bulking, floating sludge, etc.
  • Can be made fully automated with zero manual intervention
  • Easy expansion – retrofitting – capacity enhancement
