MBR MODULE – Advanced MembraneBioreactor Technology for Wastewater Treatment
An
MBR Module (Membrane Bioreactor Module) is an advanced wastewater
treatment unit that combines biological degradation and membrane filtration
into a single, highly efficient process. Designed to produce superior effluent
quality, the MBR module represents the next generation of wastewater purification
systems for municipal, industrial, and commercial applications. It replaces
conventional sedimentation and filtration units with an integrated membrane
system that ensures complete separation of suspended solids, bacteria, and
viruses, resulting in crystal-clear, reusable water.
The
MBR process integrates the activated sludge method with microfiltration(MF) or ultrafiltration (UF) membranes, offering co making it ideal for modern
water reclamation and zero liquid discharge (ZLD) systems.
Working Principle
The
MBR Module functions through two main stages:
- Biological Treatment – Wastewater first enters
the bioreactor, where microorganisms break down organic pollutants. The
aeration process supports microbial growth and facilitates biodegradation.
- Membrane Filtration – The mixed liquor from the
bioreactor then passes through the membrane module, where micro- or
ultrafiltration membranes retain suspended solids, pathogens, and large
organic molecules while allowing clean water (permeate) to pass through.
The
resulting effluent meets or exceeds international discharge and reuse standards,
with very low BOD, COD, and turbidity levels. Unlike traditional systems, the
MBR eliminates the need for secondary clarification and tertiary filtration
units.
Applications
MBR
Modules are used across diverse sectors for high-quality wastewater treatment
and water reuse, including:
- Municipal Wastewater
Treatment Plants –
Produces clear, odor-free effluent suitable for discharge or reuse in
landscaping and irrigation.
- Industrial Effluent
Treatment –
Treats wastewater from food, beverage, textile, chemical, and
pharmaceutical industries.
- Sewage Treatment Systems
(STP) –
Compact modular systems for residential buildings, hotels, and hospitals.
- Water Reclamation Projects – Converts treated
wastewater into reusable water for cooling towers, flushing, or
agriculture.
- Decentralized Wastewater
Treatment –
Ideal for small communities or industrial clusters requiring compact, efficient systems.
Key Features and Benefits
- Superior Effluent Quality: Produces high-quality water
with <1 NTU turbidity and <10 mg/L BOD.
- Compact Design: Integrates biological and
membrane treatment in one unit, reducing footprint by up to 50%.
- Chemical-Free Filtration: Physical membrane barrier
ensures disinfection without chlorine or chemicals.
- High MLSS Tolerance: Operates efficiently at
mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentrations up to 12,000 mg/L.
- Long Membrane Life: Made from durable PVDF or
PES membranes resistant to fouling and chemicals.
- Modular & Scalable: Multiple modules can be
added to increase capacity easily.
- Automatic Operation: PLC-based control system
ensures stable performance and minimal supervision.
- Low Sludge Generation: Optimized biological
process minimizes sludge production and disposal cost.
- Energy Efficient: Low aeration energy
requirement compared to traditional systems.
- Reusable Water Output: Perfect for non-potable
reuse, helping industries meet sustainability goals.

Advantages Over Conventional Systems
- Eliminates Secondary
Clarifiers: No
need for large sedimentation tanks, saving space and cost.
- Higher MLSS Operation: Improves biological
treatment efficiency and system stability.
- Consistent Effluent Quality: Even under fluctuating
inflow or load conditions.
- Compact Footprint: Ideal for retrofit or
space-limited installations.
- Easy Automation: Supports remote monitoring
and automatic backwash cycles.
- Improved
Disinfection: Physical separation removes >99% of bacteria and viruses.
Operation & Maintenance
The
MBR module is designed for continuous, long-term operation with minimal manual
intervention. Air scouring prevents membrane fouling by maintaining proper
turbulence around the fibers. Periodic chemical cleaning with mild acids or
alkalis restores permeability and ensures long membrane life.
Routine
inspections include checking TMP, air blower performance, and system flow
rates. The modular design allows easy replacement of individual units without
shutting down the entire system.
Environmental Benefits
- Water Reuse: Converts wastewater into
clean water suitable for irrigation, cleaning, and process reuse.
- Energy Optimization: Reduced aeration demand and
compact footprint lower overall power consumption.
- Sustainable Operation: Supports eco-friendly, zero liquid discharge (ZLD) and circular economy initiatives.
- Reduced Sludge Disposal: Less waste generation leads
to lower environmental impact and maintenance costs.
Conclusion
TheMBR Module repesents the future of wastewater treatment — compact,
