A Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) plant is an advanced wastewater treatment system (activated sludge + membrane filtration) that treats sewage or industrial wastewater by combining biological treatment with membrane filtration technology. It treats wastewater by breaking down organic pollutants using microorganisms in a bioreactor tank. Then, the treated water is passed through membranes, which filter out solids, bacteria, and pathogens, producing high-quality effluent. MBR plants are known for their efficiency, producing clean water that meets stringent regulatory standards. They are used in various applications, from municipal sewage treatment to industrial wastewater treatment and water reuse projects.

ABCO Water’s Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) plants are used for advanced treatment of sewage or industrial wastewater for either compliant discharge to the environment or reuse applications. For a packaged wastewater treatment plant this typically means the reduction of BOD, TSS, turbidity, E.coli, coliphages, clostridia prior to reuse. MBR plants can be either stand-alone or as part of a complete treatment system as pre or post treatment to other technologies

• Reliable wastewater treatment technology
• Extremely dependable under variable influent flow and organic load
• Produces high quality treated effluent for reuse applications
• Effective removal of BOD, SS, turbidity, E.coli, coliphages, clostridia, to achieve Expose Risk High (Class A+) compliance
• Effective removal of TP and TN
• Scalability, containerised plants can be easily scaled up or down
• Footprint, smaller compared to other technologies
• Environmentally friendly, promotes water reuse and recycling
