MBR is ideal for the treatment of medium strength industrial wastewater, being the most efficient for removing the organic pollutants and nutrient loads. The UF membranes retain the biomass (MLSS) within the bioreactor, thus producing a superior and consistent quality effluent, free of solids, turbidity and pathogens.
Years of Experiences
Berghof Membranes specializes in external MBRs that are positioned outside the bioreactor and utilize crossflow velocity to keep the membranes working at optimal conditions. Your benefits:
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.
Many industrial facilities are facing the need for upgrading their existing treatment plants. There are a number of reasons pushing the conversion:
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:
50 years of experience and more than 2.000 project references across the globe.
A leading car factory needed to expand its existing wastewater treatment system at one of its manufacturing facilities located in the Philippines. The existing CAS system was unable to handle the higher flow rate and urgently needed an upgrade
In order to meet the increasing demand, Holland Malt (Eemshaven, The Netherlands) has decided to double its
malting capacity. For this the company needed high-quality permeate to reuse for production.
A company in India services the wastewater of its 130+ member tanneries via an ETP. Due to the volume of wastewater generated, and the need to reduce discharge levels, the company needed a more effective MBR system.
With over 40 years of experience and more than 1500 project references across the globe, Berghof Membranes is the leading manufacturer of high quality tubular membranes.
To prevent fouling and clogging, Berghof Membranes developed its line of robust tubular UF (ultrafiltration) membrane modules based on inside-out crossflow filtration.
Berghof Membranes developed B-SMART®, a customizable external membrane filtration system that can be designed with various features and functionalities.
Bridging the gap between lab-scale testing and manufacturing. This gives you the confidence to apply the technology for your specific wastewater challenges.
The B-CARE® program is an end-to-end comprehensive program developed to support our OEM partners from the piloting / engineering phase to operational system monitoring.
