Membrane Bioreactors for Wastewater Treatment

MBR for Wastewater Treatment
FILTEC's MBR systems combine biological treatment and membrane filtration for superior wastewater performance. They produce high-quality effluent that meets strict discharge standards and offers the potential for water reuse, ensuring efficiency and compliance.Â
Industrial Effluent Treatment Systems
Our MBR solutions are tailored for industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and textiles, effectively treating complex waste streams. By removing contaminants and facilitating water reuse, FILTEC supports sustainable practices in industrial operations.Â


Tertiary Treatment Applications
FILTEC's MBR technology can be integrated into existing wastewater treatment plants as a tertiary treatment step. This enhancement improves effluent quality, enabling compliance with strict water quality standards before discharge or reuse.Â
Greywater Recycling Solutions
Our MBR systems are also ideal for greywater recycling applications in residential and commercial buildings. By treating wastewater from sinks, showers, and laundry, FILTEC enables non-potable reuse for purposes such as irrigation and toilet flushing.Â


Decentralised Treatment Systems
For remote or rural communities, FILTEC offers decentralised MBR systems that provide self-sufficient wastewater treatment solutions. These systems can be implemented in areas lacking centralised treatment facilities, ensuring safe and reliable wastewater management.Â
How Membrane Bioreactors Works
Membrane bioreactors combine biological treatment with membrane filtration. Wastewater is processed in a bioreactor where microorganisms break down organic matter, followed by membrane filtration that separates treated water from biomass and contaminants. This integrated approach ensures effective pollutant removal and produces high-quality effluent suitable for various reuse applications.
FAQs
What are the primary advantages of using membrane bioreactors?
MBRs provide high-quality effluent, a compact system design, and low sludge production, making them suitable for various wastewater treatment applications while reducing chemical usage.
How do I determine if an MBR system is right for my facility?
The suitability of an MBR system depends on factors such as wastewater characteristics, required treatment levels, and space availability. FILTEC can assess your specific needs and recommend the best solution.
What maintenance is required for MBR systems?
Regular maintenance includes monitoring system performance, membrane cleaning, and replacing membranes as needed. FILTEC offers servicing to ensure optimal operation and longevity of your MBR system.
Can MBR technology be integrated into existing treatment plants?
Yes, MBRs can be seamlessly integrated as a tertiary treatment option in existing facilities, enhancing the quality of effluent while supporting compliance with discharge requirements.
How do MBR systems contribute to water reuse?
MBR systems produce high-quality treated water that can be reused for non-potable applications, such as irrigation, industrial processes, and toilet flushing, supporting sustainable water management practices.
