Membrane Bio-Reactor (MBR) is a cutting-edge wastewater treatment technology that combines suspended solids separation with membrane filtration and a biological process with activated sludge in an aeration tank. The PVDF-based UF membrane filters micro-sized solids. This system eliminates the need for a sedimentation tank, significantly increasing system efficiency and reducing land use.
The product quality is Ultra Filtration (UF) water, free from bacteria and suspended solids. It can be directly reused or further purified with Reverse Osmosis (RO) without any other pretreatment.
MBR Solution for Industrial Wastewater Treatment
Membrane Bio-Reactor (MBR) is a modern wastewater treatment solution suitable for industrial and commercial facilities that require more stable treated water quality with a more efficient installation area.
By combining biological processes and Ultra Filtration membranes, MBR systems can produce better treated water quality compared to conventional processes. This technology can also reduce the need for sedimentation tanks, making it more suitable for projects with limited space.
Hydromaster designs MBR systems based on wastewater characteristics, required capacity, target treated water quality, and long-term operational needs.
MBR Applications for Various Industrial Needs
MBR systems can be used for various wastewater treatment needs that require better effluent quality and a more compact system.
- Food and beverage industry
- Hospitals and healthcare facilities
- Hotels and resorts
- Commercial buildings
- Apartments and residential estates
- Malls and shopping centers
- Manufacturing industry
- Wastewater recycling system
With more stable treated water quality, MBR can also become part of a water reuse system or an advanced treatment process using Reverse Osmosis.
Advantages of Hydromaster MBR System
More Stable Treated Water Quality
MBR produces treated water with Ultra Filtration quality, lower suspended solids, and better suitability for further treatment processes.
More Space-Efficient
MBR systems can reduce the need for sedimentation tanks, making them suitable for locations with limited installation space.
Suitable for Water Reuse
Treated water from MBR can be reused for certain applications or further processed with Reverse Osmosis according to the required water quality standards.
Improved WWTP System Efficiency
The combination of biological processes and membrane filtration helps improve wastewater treatment efficiency.
Design Based on Project Needs
Each system is designed based on wastewater quality, capacity, target effluent quality, and industrial operational needs.
When Is MBR the Right Choice?
MBR is the right choice when a project requires higher treated water quality, has limited installation space, or when treated water is planned to be reused.
This technology is also suitable for WWTP upgrading projects that require improved performance without significantly expanding the installation area.
If the main requirement is only standard biological treatment, a conventional aeration system can be an option. However, if the target water quality is higher and a more compact system is needed, MBR can be a more optimal solution.
Why Choose Hydromaster for MBR Systems?
Hydromaster has experience in designing and implementing water and wastewater treatment systems for domestic, commercial, industrial, and municipal needs. Hydromaster’s experience in Indonesia began in 2005, supported by R&D, innovative technology, and an operational track record across various projects.
In MBR system implementation, Hydromaster can support project needs from problem identification, engineering design, procurement, construction, commissioning, operator training, to operation & maintenance.
This approach helps ensure that the selected system is not only technically suitable, but also efficient, cost-effective, and reliable for long-term operational needs.
