The document discusses MBR (membrane bioreactor) wastewater treatment technology. MBR combines microfiltration or ultrafiltration membranes with a suspended growth bioreactor. It provides advantages over conventional activated sludge processes like higher quality effluent, less sludge production, and shorter retention times. Industrial Solutions Lanka has experience designing and implementing MBR systems for pharmaceutical wastewater treatment plants. Their project for a Morison facility treating 80 m3/day of wastewater achieved over 99% COD reduction using an MBR system.
2. MBR
MBR or Membrane bio reactor is the latest wastewater treatment technology which is the
combination of microfiltration or ultrafiltration with bio reactors.
The MBR technology provides the following advantages over ASP:
1. High-quality effluent
2. Less sludge production
3. Higher volumetric loading rates
4. Shorter hydraulic retention times (HRT).
What is MBR???
4. ACTIVATED SLUDGE PROCESS (ASP)
If we go for a conventional activated sludge process, the required aeration tank
volume ;
$ =
220
3
6000 /
0.13500 /
= 3771.43 3
So the reactor volume is practically impossible for the operation also the MLSS
loading is less compared with the MBR operation.
So ISL decided to go with MBR treatment technology rather than the
conventional ASP process (We need several reactors to carryout the process if we
need ASP).
8. OUR EXPERTISE IN MBR.
ISL has successfully designed and commissioned MBR wastewater technology to
pharmaceutical wastewater at Morison Limited. (Sub group of HEMAS Holdings).
Daily wastewater discharge from Morison facility is 80 m3/day and influent quality
was attached here.
9. MORISION.
After the Anoxic tank, wastewater directed to the MBR system with aeration tank
where the 99% of reduction COD reduction occurs.
In aeration the MLSS is kept as 8000 mg/l.
