BlueOcean - Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)

Traditionally, activated sludge treatment relies upon solids settling in a secondary clarifier to separate the biomass from the treated waste water. This process has the disadvantages of running at a lower MLSS, thus requiring more space and producing lower quality effluent.

With MBR technology, the clarifier is replaced by a physical barrier – the MBR membrane module. This physical barrier enables the MBR to operate at higher MLSS levels, thereby requiring a smaller overall footprint. The MBR membrane separates within the ultrafiltration spectrum, producing high quality effluent which is compliant with most of the national regulations worldwide.

Efficiency, reliability and cost effectiveness are just some of the characteristics of the BOM MBR module. The solids free effluent is suitable for recycling applications, such as irrigation or feeds for process water. BOM combines the benefits of traditional hollow fiber and plate and frame configurations without any of their inherent disadvantages.
