Minimizing Environmental Impact with MBR Solutions
In an effort to minimize the short and long-term environmental impact, industries across the globe are facing increasing challenges and costs related to wastewater management. As a result, most of the industrial facilities have built their own wastewater treatment plants, thus achieving regulatory compliance, avoiding the fees for sewer discharge, and reducing their water footprint by means of water reuse.
External Crossflow Filtration Technology
Berghof Membranes specializes in external MBRs that are positioned outside the bioreactor and utilize crossflow velocity to keep the membranes working at optimal conditions. Our MBR membranes offers several benefits:
External crossflow filtration vs. Submerged membrane filtration
Unlike the outside-in submerged membranes, our inside-out external tubular modules provide higher fluxes with less frequent cleanings and reduced maintenance operations. The cross-flow operation allows operating with higher MLSS and dealing with complex wastewaters, containing FOG, hardness or high levels of recalcitrant matter. The external filtration systems are quickly assembled and do not require complex civil works. The modules are easily accessible for inspection and maintenance, reducing system downtimes to a minimum. Finally, the enclosed filtration system is clean and operator-friendly, with neither odor nor exposure to the wastewater.
Upgrading Existing Wastewater Treatment Facilities
Many industrial facilities need to upgrade their wastewater treatment plants due to stringent regulations, cost-efficient water reuse, and increased production causing hydraulic bottlenecks. Converting existing CASP or SBR processes into MBRs offers significant technical and economic benefits.
- The discharge quality requirements are not fulfilled, due to the increasingly stringent regulations;
- Reusing the treated water becomes cost-efficient, as long as the fresh water cost increases and the discharge fees to municipal sewer raise;
- The increased production leads to the expansion of the facility, and the wastewater treatment plant becomes an hydraulic bottleneck in the production plant.
Under any of these circumstances, the conversion of the existing CASP or SBR processes into MBRs turns out as the most favourable solution, providing significant benefits at both technical and economical sides. By coupling the external tubular UF system to the existing biological reactor the wastewater treatment plant will provide a much better quality treated water, and the capacity of the plant shall be increased up to three times if required. The external MBR system has undoubted advantages for retrofit and conversion:
