Membrane bioreactors (MBR)

MBR Advantages

The biggest benefits of the MBR technology compared to more traditional technologies are a significantly smaller footprint and remarkably better treatment results. As MBR technology uses a membrane in the final filtering stage, the solid content after the treatment is minimal which enables more effective disinfection results in the tertiary treatment phase with lower doses of disinfectant.

One of the main advantages of MBR technology is its ability to remove and reduce drug residues. Many science studies have highlighted that drug residues and hormones are one of the biggest man-made threats to aquatic organisms. Many studies have indicated that drug residues and hormones create mutations in fish, which can be avoided with sufficient water treatment. At the time being the MBR technology combined with effective oxidation technologies are the only methods to remove drug residues in large quantities.

Lamor MBR solutions consist of:

• System design
• Pretreatment
• Membrane bioreactor and aeration unit
• Tertiary treatment
