The popularity of MBR technology lies in following advantages: (over conventional processes)

A. Most important aspect of MBR technology is production of very high quality effluent consistently.

B. Compliance with International stringent discharge norms.

C. Complete independent control of HRT (Hydraulic Retention Time) and SRT (Sludge Retention Time), which allow more complete reduction of COD, and improved stability of processes such as nitrification.

D. Reduced Sludge Production

E. Process intensification through high Biomass concentration with MLSS (Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids) over 8000 – 10000 ppm.

F. Ability to treat high strength wastewater.

G. Lower footprint than Conventional Activated Sludge Process, since Clarifier/Filters are eliminated.

H. Reduction in Post disinfection requirements.
