Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)

A membrane bioreactor (MBR) is an activated sludge system with membranes located at the end of the activated sludge basin(s) for liquid-solids separation in lieu of using secondary clarifiers. In the integrated MBR system, the key component is the microfiltration or ultrafiltration membrane that is immersed directly into the activated sludge reactor. The membranes are mounted in modules that can be lowered into the bioreactor.
Advantages of MBR
  • A much smaller area requirement (less than 50%)
  • A simpler process operation with no concerns about the effect of filamentous activated sludge
  • Reclaimed water quality effluent due to complete suspended solids capture across the membrane separation
  • A lower disinfection dose requirement due to the low turbidity
