Membrane bioreactors

Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) combine biological treatment and membrane filtration to clean wastewater. They use microorganisms to break down organic pollutants, similar to traditional activated sludge systems. The treated water then passes through a specialized membrane filter that physically removes remaining solids, bacteria, and viruses. This integrated process results in high-quality, near-drinkable water, making MBRs efficient for sewage treatment and water recycling. They are compact, effective, and capable of producing cleaner effluent than conventional methods, which makes them suitable for urban, industrial, and environmental applications.
