 What are MBR membrane bioreactor and where these are     needed? MBR membrane bioreactor stands for Membrane Bioreactor. It is a wastewater treatment technology that combines biological processes with membrane filtration. In a traditional wastewater treatment plant, biological processes, such as activated sludge, break down organic matter and remove contaminants from the water. However, a  membrane module is integrated into the process in an MBR system. The MBR membrane bioreactor process involves the following steps: 1. Wastewater Treatment : The incoming wastewater enters an aeration tank, undergoing biological treatment by microorganisms. These microorganisms break down organic matter and remove nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. 2. Solid-Liquid Separation : Unlike conventional wastewater treatment, where a clarifier separates the solid sludge from the treated water, an MBR system utilizes membrane filtration. The membrane module consists of porou...
