Membrane Bioreactor System (MBR)

Biological Reactor:

A Biological Reactor facilitates the degradation of organic pollutants through biological processes. Typically an aerated tank, it uses microorganisms to consume organic matter.

Membrane Filtration Unit:

This unit employs microfiltration or ultrafiltration membranes to separate treated water from mixed liquor (biomass).

Types of Membrane Bioreactors:

  • Submerged (or Immersed) MBR: Membranes are submerged in the bioreactor tank. Water is drawn through the membranes via suction.

  • External (or Sidestream) MBR: Membranes are positioned outside the bioreactor. Mixed liquor is pumped through the membranes and then returned to the bioreactor.

Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR):

The MBBR uses biofilm carriers in a moving bed to enhance the biological treatment of wastewater. This technology improves treatment efficiency and is suitable for both municipal and industrial applications.

Applications:

  • Municipal and industrial wastewater treatment (e.g., food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, textiles)

  • Water reuse and recycling projects

Dissolved Air Flotation

Purpose: DAF is used to remove suspended solids, oils, greases, and other particles from water.

Process:

Pre-treatment: Water is first treated with coagulants and flocculants to form larger particles (flocs).
Air Saturation: Air is dissolved in water under pressure.
Release and Flotation: The air-saturated water is released into the DAF tank at atmospheric pressure. The air comes out of solution, forming tiny bubbles that attach to the flocs.
Separation: The bubbles lift the flocs to the surface, forming a floating layer of sludge.
Removal: The sludge is mechanically removed from the surface, and the clarified water is discharged from the bottom of the tank.
Applications:
 

  • Wastewater treatment plants

  • Pulp and paper industry

  • Oil refineries and petrochemical plants

  • Textile and dye manufacturing

  • food
