What is MBR?
 Membrane Bio-Reactor is the combination of a membrane filtration process with a suspended
growth bioreactor, and is now widely used for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment.
 When used with domestic wastewater, MBR processes could produce effluent of high quality
enough to be discharged to coastal, surface or brackish waterways or to be reclaimed for urban
irrigation, agriculture, industry reuse, etc.
 Other advantages of MBR’s over conventional processes include small footprint, easy retrofit
and upgrade of old wastewater treatment plants.
