Description

How AGUAFLO MEMBIO Membrane works?

• In the Bioreactor, clean water gets collected in the hollow fiber cavity, leaving the biomass outside
• Backwash is regularly applied to prevent clogging (fouling) of hollow fiber membrane.
• High MLSS (6,000-12,000 mg/L) => low HRT => small reactor volume => small plant footprint area
• Biomass separation is independent of settling, is done using MBR Membrane (micro or ultrafiltration)
• Biomass is completely retained, In treated water TSS (<1 mg/L) and turbidity (<1NTU) is very low.
• Automatic operation, operator requirements are reduced
• Due to elevated SRT(Solid/Sludge Retention time) less prone to problems associated with nitrification and toxic or less biomass yield => less sludge
• Due to high MLSS, shock loads can be easily handled
• Better SRT control since no escape of TSS as occasionally observed from secondary clarifiers
• Can also remove nitrogen and phosphorus with the addition of anaerobic and anoxic zones

Technical Details

Advantages

• Extremely low space requirement
• Simple construction makes for easy repair and replacement
• Custom design and low capital and operation cost makes AGUAFLO MEMBIO installation in most difficult location easier
• Low sludge generation compared to conventional treatment process
• Treated water quality ideal for flushing and other non-potable applications.
• Plants can be underground, over ground, basement based etc.
