What are the advantages of MBR membrane treatment process
The MBR membrane treatment process has multiple significant advantages, making it increasingly popular in the field of wastewater treatment. The following are the main advantages of MBR membrane treatment process:
1. Efficient pollutant removal capability
MBR membrane can effectively remove suspended solids and turbidity in wastewater, and the effluent quality is close to tap water. The membrane has a small pore size and can intercept all suspended solids and sludge in the bioreactor, with a removal rate of over 99%
2. High concentration activated sludge
Due to the efficient retention of membrane components, the sludge concentration in the reactor can reach 40-50 g/L, greatly improving the removal capacity of organic matter. The removal rates of COD and BOD can reach over 94% and 96% respectively
3. Small footprint
MBR technology achieves miniaturization of reactor volume through high sludge concentration, typically occupying a much smaller area than traditional activated sludge processes. This gives MBR technology a significant advantage in space utilization
4. Automation control and easy operation
The MBR system is easy to implement automated control and improves the automation level of sewage treatment. Relatively simple operation management, suitable for modern management needs
5. Stable effluent quality
MBR membrane technology can provide stable effluent quality with almost no suspended solids (SS), thus eliminating the need for additional disinfection processes and simplifying the treatment process
6. Strong ability to withstand impact loads
High concentration activated sludge enables the MBR system to have good tolerance to inflow fluctuations and impact loads, resulting in more stable operation
7. Save energy consumption
The new aeration device saves more than 50% of energy consumption compared to traditional methods, while improving membrane cleaning efficiency and reducing operating costs
Summary
The MBR membrane treatment process has become an important choice for modern wastewater treatment due to its high efficiency, energy saving, small footprint, and excellent effluent quality. It is widely used in the fields of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment.
