Moving Bed Bioreactor (MBBR)

The membrane bioreactor (MBR) process plays a critical role in water reuse applications. From retrofits to decentralized plants, MBR is a versatile treatment platform that can convert wastewater into a viable resource. The membrane bioreactor process offers the best wastewater treatment solution with lower space requirements for advanced water reuse applications. Technological advances of the process are as efficient and effective as other wastewater treatment processes. 

Membrane bioreactor systems effectively retain bacteria and suspended particles within the treatment process, ensuring better water quality. As a result, the MBR provides many advantages over conventional wastewater treatment processes. In addition to small footprint and reactor requirements, H2OMSPL MBR also provides high effluent quality, good disinfection and odor control capability, higher volumetric loading and less sludge production. Considering these benefits, the MBR process has now become an ideal option for the treatment and reuse of industrial, domestic and municipal wastewaters.

Applications

  • Domestic wastewater in residential and commercial buildings
  • Condominiums & housing projects.
  • Hospitals, Hotels & resorts, Shopping Malls
  • Small and medium size factories, manufacturing units,
  • Schools & Institutes
  • Building temporary facilities.
  • Petrochemical and field operations
  • Site offices, labour colonies, construction sites.
  • Golf Courses
  • Dairy processing (milk, cheese, yogurt)
  • Beverage factories (breweries, juice, soda)
  • Automotive Industry
  • Metal plating and finishing
  • Municipal sewage plants
  • Pulp & paper
  • Aquaculture & hatcheries

Advantages of membrane bioreactor

  • Highest degree treated water in terms of low turbidity, TSS, BOD, and bacteria
  • More robust process for enhanced ability to absorb shock loads
  • Treated water can be directly reused for many applications, saving freshwater requirements
  • Eliminates environmental hazard of surrounding usually caused by algae growth
  • Low hydraulic retention time reduces tank size requirements, resulting in a compact system with lower space requirements
  • Automated operation and minimum chances of human error leading to low maintenance requirements
  • Due to high MLSS, the system can be upgraded to higher capacity
  • Membrane barrier separates bacteria and virus up to log 4

Frequently Asked Questions

The membrane bioreactor process combines biological wastewater treatment with membrane-based solid-liquid separation in a single system. Microorganisms break down organic contaminants biologically inside the reactor, while membranes handle the separation of treated water from the biological sludge, retaining bacteria, suspended particles, and other solids within the treatment process. H2OMSPL's MBR systems deliver high effluent quality with low turbidity, low TSS, and reduced BOD and bacteria levels. The membrane barrier separates bacteria and viruses up to log 4, producing treated water that is directly reusable for many applications.

The membrane bioreactor process delivers several practical advantages that matter in real facility operations. The system has a small footprint and low hydraulic retention time, which means smaller tanks and less space than conventional biological treatment plants need. Sludge production is lower, reducing disposal requirements and costs. The membrane barrier provides good disinfection and odor control without additional chemical treatment steps. Automated operation keeps human error low and maintenance requirements minimal. H2OMSPL's MBR systems are also upgradeable to higher capacity due to high MLSS levels, giving facilities a path to scale without rebuilding the treatment infrastructure from scratch.

The membrane bioreactor process is used across a wide range of domestic, commercial, industrial, and municipal applications. Residential buildings, condominiums, hospitals, hotels, shopping malls, schools, and construction site facilities all use MBR for domestic wastewater treatment. On the industrial side, applications include dairy processing, beverage factories, automotive manufacturing, metal plating, petrochemical operations, pulp and paper plants, municipal sewage plants, and aquaculture facilities. H2OMSPL's MBR systems are designed to handle the specific wastewater volumes and contamination profiles of each of these settings, producing treated water suitable for reuse across all of them.

The treated water that comes out of a membrane bioreactor process is among the highest quality outputs available from biological wastewater treatment. H2OMSPL's MBR systems produce effluent with the highest degree of treated water quality in terms of low turbidity, TSS, BOD, and bacteria levels. The membrane barrier separates bacteria and viruses up to log 4, which is a level of biological removal that enables direct reuse of the treated water across many non-potable applications. This quality of output also eliminates the environmental hazard of algae growth typically associated with lower-quality treated water being discharged into surrounding areas.

H2OMSPL approaches membrane bioreactor projects as a one-stop solution rather than supplying equipment alone. The offering covers the complete MBR process along with pre-treatment and post-treatment solutions, designed and delivered by an experienced in-house engineering team from concept through to commissioning. Multiple membrane brands are available, with selection matched to each client's specific requirements rather than a single standard option. Complete automation solutions are provided for the MBR system, and 24/7 technical support with end-to-end backup and aftersales services ensures facilities have ongoing support well beyond the installation phase.
