Membrane Bio Reactor (MBR)

1. Introduction

Membrane Bio Reactor (MBR) is the combination of a membrane process like

microfiltration or ultrafiltration with a suspended growth bioreactor, and is now widely

used for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. This treatment process

replaces final sedimentation tank in activated sludge process by membrane process

to perform solid-liquid separation. Due to it being a very technical solution; it needs

expert design and skilled workers. Furthermore, it is a costly but efficient treatment

possibility. With the MBR technology, it is possible for downsizing, simplifying

treatment facilities, recycling treated water and upgrade old wastewater plants.

3. Application of MBR method in waste water treatment.

MBR method is applicable to many sectors, including municipal, industrial

and water reclamation.

4. Benefit of MBR method.

MBR method is able to provide the benefit of biological treatment with a

physical barrier separation. Compared to conventional treatment processes,

MBR method is able to provide better quality effluent with a smaller,

simplified treatment process.
