MBBR Wastewater Treatment Plants MBR stands for Membrane Bioreactor, which is a wastewater treatment system that combines the principles of biological treatment and membrane filtration. It is an advanced technology used for treating both domestic and industrial wastewater. In a typical MBR system, the wastewater is first subjected to a biological treatment process, where microorganisms break down organic matter and remove nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. This biological treatment can occur in an activated sludge process, where bacteria consume the organic matter, or in other types of biological reactors. The key feature of an MBR system is the use of membrane filtration to separate the treated wastewater from the biomass (microorganisms). The membranes used in MBRs are typically made of materials like polyethylene or polypropylene, and they have very small pore sizes that allow water to pass through while retaining the suspended solids and microorganisms.
