MBR System Elements

Laser-welded Plate-and-Frame Membrane Plates is a key element of the membrane filter.

Membrane Module is a complete unit consisting of membrane plates, support frame, feed inlet retentate, and outlet permeate ports.

MBR - Wastewater Treatment

Depending on applications MBR can be presented by different kinds of aggregates Whole membrane filtration system includes: Membrane filters (membrane & support frame) Permeate withdrawal system Air scouring blower system Permeate & mixed liquor recirculation pumps Membrane cleaning system Programmable logic controllers (PLCs)

Membrane filters are submerged into the treated water. The filtrate is drawn through and out of the filters by the slightly negative pressure of only 0.1 bar (0.47 psig)
