New Membrane Bioreactor Elevates Onsite Wastewater Industry

Shawnee, KS — For the municipal and industrial water and wastewater industries, the term "membrane bioreactor or MBR" is nothing new. MBR technology has been available for a few decades and has developed into productive product lines for many companies. But for the onsite wastewater industry, the term is either unknown or connotes a level of operation and maintenance not practical for onsite applications. At the upcoming WEFTEC exhibition, Bio-Microbics, Inc. will introduce the new BioBarrier™ MBR, a simple, low-maintenance membrane bioreactor designed specifically for unsewered residential development, commercial properties and onsite water reuse applications.

Together with affiliate Smith & Loveless, Inc., Bio-Microbics has developed the BioBarrier MBR as a pre-engineered, modular system that will ship installation-ready and fit easily into both new and existing onsite tank configurations. BioBarrier's low-foul, durable, flat-sheet membranes utilize micro-size pores and act as a physical barrier for all wastewater solids. The system's unique operation sequence requires no complicated backwash functionality and is completely automated using an advanced control strategy. BioBarrier's consistent, high-quality effluent provides new opportunities for onsite wastewater reuse techniques that can have dramatic, positive affects on water resources around the globe.
