How MBR Technology Works

Biological Process
Wastewater enters a biological reactor where microorganisms break down organic matter. This process is similar to the activated sludge system.

Membrane Filtration
The treated wastewater is then filtered through ultrafiltration membranes:

• Hollow fiber or flat sheet membrane types

• Very small pore size → only water molecules and gases pass through

• Retains solids, bacteria, viruses, and suspended particles

Final Effluent
MBR-treated water has high quality, characterized by:

• Low TSS (Total Suspended Solids)

• Reduced COD/BOD

• Suitable for further treatment or discharge in accordance with environmental standards

📈 Advantages of the SINTECH MBR System

✔️ Very high water quality
Micro membranes remove fine solids that cannot be handled by conventional systems.

✔️ Smaller footprint
Due to high efficiency, MBR requires less space compared to conventional WWTPs.

✔️ Stable operation & easy control
Equipment such as blowers and pumps can be monitored automatically.

✔️ Minimal odor & reduced sludge return
Lower excess sludge production and reduced operational odors.

✔️ Suitable for recycle/reuse
MBR effluent is often reused (irrigation, flushing, or non-potable industrial needs).
