MBR Technology for Wastewater Reclamation in Rural Areas

Membrane bioreactors (MBR) with submerged membrane modules have set the standard for the next generation of biological wastewater treatment plants as they offer two main advantages; a significantly improved effluent quality and a substantially smaller footprint. Aside from the major application in industrial wastewater treatment, there are also many municipal applications where MBR technology is being implemented. One example is the Bega Valley Sewerage Program (BWSP) in Australia that includes state-of-the-art MBR plants.
