Wastewater treatment

Wastewater treatment is the process of converting wastewater into water that can be discharged back into the environment.
  • Wastewater treatment removes contaminants from wastewater and converts it into an effluent that can be returned to the water cycle.
  • The effluent, once returned to the water cycle, either has an acceptable impact on the environment or is reused for various purposes (known as water reclamation).
  • The treatment process occurs in a wastewater treatment plant.
  • Different types of wastewater are treated at specific wastewater treatment plants.
  • Domestic wastewater (also known as municipal wastewater or sewage) is treated in a Sewage Treatment plant.
  • Industrial wastewater is treated in either a separate Industrial wastewater treatment plant or in a sewage treatment plant after pre-treatment.
  • Wastewater treatment plants are categorized based on the type of wastewater they treat.
  • Various processes, including physical, chemical, and biological treatment, are used depending on the type and extent of contamination.

Types of wastewater treatment plants include:

Sewage treatment plants

Industrial wastewater treatment plants

Agriculture wastewater treatment plants

Membrane bioreactor

An MBR Sewage Treatment Plant is an advanced method for wastewater treatment that combines membrane filtration and biological treatment. This process integrates ultra/microfiltration membranes with an activated sludge system, replacing the need for secondary sedimentation tanks and sand filters in conventional systems. The semi-permeable membranes are submerged in aerated reactors, allowing high-quality sewage filtration and eliminating the need for traditional sedimentation and filtration steps. Fine screening or pre-treatment is done before waste enters the membrane tank to protect and extend the life of the membranes.

The highlights of our MBR Sewage Treatment Plant are as follows:

  • Our product includes an online backwash system for uninterrupted operation.
  • It can produce a high-caliber of treated water.

  • It is designed to decrease the associated costs and chemical utilization.

  • It does not require a separate settler, clarifier, and polishing unit.

  • It is flexible in the sense that it can do both underground and above the ground.

  • It is eco-friendly.

  • Automobile industries

  • Oil & gas companies

 
  • Applications of membrane bioreactor

  • Membrane bioreactors have several applications

  • Fertilizer & solvent extractors

  • Iron & steel industries

  • Pharma industry

  • Petroleum refinery

  • Dye & chemicals unit

  • Pulp & paper industry

Summary

➙ MBR is the low-footprint, high-effluent-quality solution to your wastewater treatment needs. It can be used to upgrade existing WWTPs as well as to build new, state-of-the-art facilities.

➙ How does a membrane bioreactor work in wastewater treatment processes?

➙ The crucial function of membranes is to separate solids from a liquid. In activated sludge facilities, this is traditionally accomplished using secondary clarifiers.

➙ Two process configurations are possible:

➙ Submerged MBR, in case vacuum-driven membranes are used (like PCI HF-Zmbr2 Series)

➙ Sidestream (or external) MBR, in case pressure-driven membranes are used (like PCI A-Series).

➙ Usually, pressure-driven membranes are used for smaller installations and/or tough-to-treat industrial wastewaters, while submerged membranes are used for medium and large installations.
