Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR)

MABR Technology: The Future of Water Treatment

Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR) is an innovative wastewater treatment technology that enhances the efficiency of biological treatment while reducing energy consumption. Unlike conventional aeration methods, MABR utilizes a passive oxygen transfer process through membranes, promoting sustainable and cost-effective wastewater treatment.

How MABR Works

MABR technology functions through a biofilm that forms on the surface of gas-permeable membranes. These membranes provide direct oxygen diffusion, allowing simultaneous nitrification and denitrification processes within the same reactor. The working process includes:

    1. Oxygen Diffusion – Air passes through membranes, eliminating the need for mechanical aeration.
    2. Biofilm Development – Microorganisms grow on the membrane surface, breaking down pollutants.
    3. Simultaneous Nitrification-Denitrification – The outer biofilm layer oxidizes ammonia, while the inner layer removes nitrogen, reducing wastewater contaminants efficiently.

Advantages:

  • Energy-Efficient – Reduces energy consumption by up to 90% compared to conventional aeration systems.
  • Cost-Effective – Low operational and maintenance costs due to reduced aeration requirements.
  • Compact & Scalable – Requires less space, making it suitable for decentralized wastewater treatment.
  • Improved Effluent Quality – Enhances biological nutrient removal, ensuring high-quality treated water.
  • Eco-Friendly – Low carbon footprint, making it a sustainable wastewater treatment solution.
