TECHNOLOGY
AMBRTM - AEROBIC MEMBRANE BIOREACTOR
Next generation MBR technology for exceptional treatment quality
AEROBIC MEMBRANE BIOREACTORS
Aquabio’s aerobic membrane bioreactors are the most compact and cost-effective MBR systems available. The process combines aerobic biological treatment using jet/slot aeration technology with tubular crossflow ultrafiltration (UF) membranes for biomass separation to deliver superior quality treated water which can be applied directly to RO/UV technology to allow water re-use. The aeration and membrane systems are mounted outside of the tank to provide hygienic operation with a focus on the safety and ease of maintenance.

AMBRTM AEROBIC MEMBRANE BIOREACTOR
Aquabio’s AMBRTM system uses high crossflow to achieve high flux rates. Plants are lower in capital cost and extremely compact with very low membrane area and hence reduced membrane replacement costs. The membrane banks are operated automatically on demand to match the plant throughput. When not required, individual membrane banks are automatically shutdown, auto-flushed to remove biomass and await re-start, thus saving energy. The cross flow ultrafiltration (UF) membranes provide a complete barrier to suspended solids resulting in a high quality, solids free permeate which can either be sent as a low cost discharge to sewer or water course or ideally applied directly to Aquabio’s RO/UV technology to provide potable water re-use.
