Membrane Biofilm Reactor
Dorr-Oliver Inc.
Membrane Biofilm Reactors (MBR) are wastewater treatment systems which combine the membrane process of microfiltration with biological activated sludge process.
Membrane Biofilm Reactors (MBR) are wastewater treatment systems that combine a semi-permeable membrane with biological treatment processes. The membrane enables microfiltration while a suspended growth bioreactor enables biological decomposition. This type of wastewater treatment is commonly used by municipalities and industrial treatment.
Worldwide
The MBR has been implemented by Weise Water GmbH, Fluence, Martin Membrane Systems, Triqua International bv and Ovivo.
The costs of MBR are dependant on the size of the system.
Primary competitors include Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor and Sequence Batch Reactor.
Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
Municipalities, local governments, industries that produce contaminated wastewater
