The Aqua-Aerobic® USA MBR System is a unique time managed process that uses sequential aeration to promote biological nutrient removal in a simplified unit process. The integration of submerged membranes provides direct filtration of high-level MLSS. These unit processes places the Aqua-Aerobic® USA MBR system in a unique class of high quality membranes coupled with biological reactors.
Process Arrangement:
- Biological Process: Screened influent enters the biological system and is treated via time managed process control. Aeration is provided with retrievable diffusers and independent mixing is used to conserve energy and assure a proper reactor environment. Treatment can be performed in True Batch Process or Continuous Flow Process.
- Membrane Filtration: Sludge from the biological process is continuously fed to the membrane tanks. PURONTM USA membranes are submerged directly in the biological solids and permeate is drawn equally from all membranes.
- System Control: A simplified arrangement of pumps and blowers are used to draw effluent and maintain membrane permeability. Backwashing air scour and chemical cleaning is performed automatically.
PURONTM USA Submerged Membranes
- 0.05-micron filtration barrier to bacteria and suspended solids.
