Aqua-Aerobic® MBR
Membrane Bioreactors
The Aqua-Aerobic® MBR system is a unique, time-managed process which uses sequential aeration to promote biological nutrient removal in a simplified unit process. The integration of submerged membranes provides direct filtration of high-level mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS).
How It Works
Features & Specifications
- Time-managed control offers operational flexibility with fewer tanks
- Integrated equalization of batch system minimizes membrane area
- Membrane fibers with integral air scour and no top header minimize sludging
- Controlled recycle from membrane tanks limits oxygen during anoxic phase
Benefits
- Designed and engineered as a Time Based Activated SludgeSM System
- Minimal pre-screening requirements
- Proven enhanced biological nutrient removal (ENR)
- Separate nitrate recycle pumps are not needed
- Patented Aqua MixAir® system adjusts dissolved oxygen to match organic loading
- Membrane treatment of known batch volume optimizes flux and minimizes air usage
- Lowest energy consumption among MBRs
- Rapid solution for augmenting plant capacity
