Applications
From MBR to Direct Filtration, we offer products and solutions designed to maximize system efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and deliver superior performance.
AnMBR
AnMBR is ideal for the treatment of high-strength wastewater, achieving maximum conversions of organics into biogas. It deals with FOG, conductivity, and solids more robust and efficient than other anaerobic technologies.
MBR
MBR is ideal for the treatment of medium strength wastewater, being the most efficient for removing organic pollutants and nutrient loads. It provides a superior and consistent quality effluent, that is fit for reuse.
Direct filtration
Direct filtration solutions are able to tackle tough separation, purification and concentration processes: from waste minimization to water reuse or materials recovery, we addresses a wide range of industrial applications.
Best solution for each situation
Our extensive technical know-how in various industrial effluent and wastewater treatment applications ensure that we offer the best solution for each specific situation.
Think Outside the Box
The external principle
At Berghof Membranes, we believe in external membrane filtration and the potential for innovation that drives us to “think outside the box” in creating tubular membrane solutions for wastewater treatment for industries around the world.
The Berghof Membranes filtration systems are positioned outside the bioreactor and utilize variable crossflow velocity to keep the membranes working at optimal conditions. If necessary, this process is supported with permeate backwash (temporarily reversed permeate flow) or chemical backwash protocols.
Tubular membrane filtration is frequently applied in the external configuration because of the greater ease in cleaning, zero odor emissions, and overall superior robustness.
