Activated Sludge Process (ASP), an Old technique in waste water treatment is combined with highly efficient membrane filtration to start a sophisticated technique called Membrane Bio Reactor (MBR). Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) combine the use of biological processes and membrane technology to treat wastewater.Within one process unit, a high standard of treatment is achieved, replacing the conventional arrangement of settling tank and filtration that generally produces what is termed as a tertiary standard effluent.
The advent of membranes makes the wastewater treatment easier nowadays. It is an efficient process for maintaining a long solids retention time (SRT) at a relatively short hydraulic retention time (HRT), which is needed for the treatment of waste water.
The dependence on disinfection is also reduced, since the membranes with pore openings, generally in the 0.1-0.5µm, range trap a significant proportion of pathogenic organisms.
The more common MBR configuration is to have the membrane immersed in the wastewater, although a side stream configuration is also possible, with the wastewater pumped through the membrane module and then returned to the bioreactor. Operating at Mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentration of up to 12,000 mg/L and a sludge age of 30-60 days
MBR is favored to all other conventional techniques because the treated water is free from suspended solids and microorganisms, thus making it suitable for reuse. This unique application gives high degradation rates, extremely low sludge production and very compact design.
