    Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Process

    The ZeeWeed membrane bioreactor (MBR) process is a GE technology that consists of a


    suspended growth biological reactor integrated with an ultrafiltration membrane system, using
    the ZeeWeed hollow fiber membrane. Essentially, the ultrafiltration system replaces the solids
    separation function of secondary clarifiers and sand filters in a conventional activated sludge
    system.

    ZeeWeed ultrafiltration membranes are immersed in an aeration tank, in direct contact with
    mixed liquor. Through the use of a permeate pump, a vacuum is applied to a header connected to
    the membranes. The vacuum draws the treated water through the hollow fiber ultrafiltration
    membranes. Permeate is then directed to disinfection or discharge facilities. Intermittent airflow
    is introduced to the bottom of the membrane module, producing turbulence that scours the
    external surface of the hollow fibers. This scouring action transfers rejected solids away from the
    membrane surface.

    ZeeWeed membrane bioreactor technology effectively overcomes the problems associated with
    poor settling of sludge in conventional activated sludge processes. ZeeWeed MBR technology
    permits bioreactor operation with considerably higher mixed liquor solids concentrations than
    conventional activated sludge systems that are limited by sludge settling. The ZeeWeed MBR
    process is typically operated at a mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentration in the
    range of 8,000 to 10,000 mg/L. Elevated biomass concentrations allow for highly effective
    removal of both soluble and particulate biodegradable material in the waste stream. The
    ZeeWeed MBR process combines the unit operations of aeration, secondary clarification and
    filtration into a single process, producing a high quality effluent, simplifying operation and
    greatly reducing space requirements.

    Reinforced Membranes for Membrane Bioreactor Applications

    Reinforced membranes™ are preferred for membrane bioreactor (MBR) applications


    because it's never a perfect world.

    The reinforced hollow fiber membrane design philosophy benefits users today and in the future.
    You may never need to use the built-in safety features such as the ability to effectively
    backpulse, but if you do, you'll be glad the security is there.

    Unmatched ruggedness results in a longer membrane life and lower plant life cycle costs
    "Self-healing" fibers mean no catastrophic membrane failures and no plant shutdowns
    Effective back-pulse cleaning ensures long-term, peak system performance and a simple
    method to recover the membrane permeability in the event of a plant upset
    Compact design means smaller plants and reduced capital and operating costs.
    The rugged membranes have a proven track record for operating in all types of demanding
    environments, including municipal/commercial/industrial wastewater and landfill leachate
