Membrane Bioreactor

Aqwell - Membrane Bioreactor

The Aqwell MBR Membrane Bioreactor system is a combination of the activated sludge process and membrane filtration. By combining these technologies, an extremely high quality of treated water can be produced by a process that is as much as 5 times smaller than a conventional biological wastewater treatment system.

Advantages of Aqwell MBR over traditional systems

Improved BOD, Nitrogen and Solids removal Typically improved disinfection than UV More robust and consistent operation Extremely compact plant Negades need for gravity settling of solids Not susceptible to sludge bulking problems Significantly reduced waste sludge production Remote monitoring and telemetry as standard   Typical treated effluent quality for domestic sewage   BOD5 < 9mg/l     Total Nitrogen < 9mg/l     Suspended Solids < 5mg/l     Total Coliforms < 1 CFU/100ml

The Aqwell MBR system is ideally suited to treatment of the wastewater from subdivisions, towns, commercial premises and a wide range of industries.

If an exceptional quality of treated water or re-use of reclaimed water is required, Aqwell MBR provides an economic and sustainable solution.

The MBR Process is well proven with over 2,000 treatment plants installed worldwide using this same membrane technology. These plants range in size from those suitable for single households to those providing sewage treatment for entire cities.

Under operational conditions a layer of biomass forms on the 0.4 micron membrane resulting in effective filtration down to a particle size as small as 0.01 micron. This ensures removal of virtually all bacteria and most viruses from the treated water.
