REUSE WASTE WATER WITH CULLIGAN MBR SYSTEMS

Increasing pressures from population growth, changing weather patterns and pollution are all contributing to the growing water scarcity situation

The Membrane BioReactor (MBR) technology is a great solution to meet these needs and potentially reuse treated wastewater.

MBR system benefits

  • High effluent quality - reuse potential
  • Small footprint
  • Low sludge production
  • High stability

MBR application possibilities

  • Decentralized commercial facilities such as shopping centers, hotels and resorts.
  • Military and aid camps
  • Smaller municipal communities
  • Industries such as food and beverage, industrial laundries, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
  • Sites that require upgrading to meet stricter emission quality levels.

How does the MBR process work?

CONVENTIONAL ACTIVATED SLUDGE WASTE WATER TREATMENT

In the conventional activated sludge method, the sludge is separated into solids and liquids in a settling tank. This is called clarification.

MEMBRANE BIOREACTOR (MBR) SYSTEM

The innovative MBR technology combines activated sludge treatment with solid-liquid separation using microporous membranes, instead of conventional secondary clarification.

Advantages of MBR versus Conventional activated sludge treatment

  • Smaller Footprint

The MBR process removes the need for a separate clarifier.

  • Less sludge

The ability to hold higher concentrations of MLLS and having longer sludge residence times allows the MBR to produce less sludge than conventional activated sludge systems.

  • High Effluent quality

The flat sheet membranes used by Culligan have a pore size of just 0,15µm resulting in clear, highly purified effluent.

  • Reduced operator input

The simpler process without the clarifier stage reduces the need for operator checks and adjustments.

  • High Stability

The MBR process is stable across a range of conditions and can manage high levels of variability.

In addition to standard installations, Culligan MBR systems are available in a wide range of configurations tailored to your specific needs, such as mobile containerized solutions for remote sites or retrofit systems to enhance the performance of existing treatment plants.
