MBR Wastewater Treatment Pilot System For Water Recovery & Reuse

Unlike conventional activated sludge systems that rely on gravity-based settlement of the mixed liquor, newterra membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems use ultrafiltration (UF) membranes as a physical barrier against the passage of all particulate solids. This allows MBRs to operate at four times the concentration level of mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) of conventional systems. As a result, MBR systems are very resilient to changes in influent quality, and require a much smaller system footprint – typically only 25% of that required by a conventional system.
