MBR Solutions

As environmental regulations become increasingly more stringent, Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Technologies enable developers to treat wastewater streams to meet even the strictest of permit regulations. Other benefits include:

In general, MBR systems are comprised of similar components, just scaled to match the intended flowrate of the facility. Treatment systems have:

  • Headworks Screen – Removes larger items that clog or disrupt the treatment process.
  • Equalization Tank – Normalizes the otherwise inconsistent flowrate of a service area.
  • Treatment Basin – Has zones for anoxic and anerobic processing, houses membrane filter.
  • Sludge Processing – Holding tank for biological processes and dumpster for landfill.
  • Effluent Discharge – Chemical Contact tanks, re-use storage tanks, and/or discharge pumps.

MBR plants are becoming an increasingly popular alternative, amongst private communities and municipalities alike. IWS has designed and constructed plants with all of the major membrane technologies, including:

IWS is experienced in designing and constructing MBR wastewater treatment systems utilizing the aforementioned technologies. We provide clients with a customized solution, based on:
