Membrane Bio-Reactor

The MBR process, introduced in the late 1960s, is a biological membrane process that uses an activated sludge process combined with a membrane separation process and is now widely used for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, especially when wastewater recycling/reuse is taking place.

An MBR process is mainly used for wastewater treatment by using membranes (flat sheet/submerged or tubular/pressurized) and integrating them with a biological process like a suspended growth bioreactor. The membranes are mainly utilized for filtration and removal of solids, which are generated during the biological process, which will result in a clear product.
