Description
Kubota Membrane USA provides a world-class membrane bioreactor (MBR) wastewater treatment system based on the innovative Kubota flat sheet membrane. There are over 4,500 installations of the Kubota system worldwide. That unparalleled experience has provided the Kubota Corporation the knowledge to engineer the system to meet nearly any configuration and application.
What is a Membrane Bioreactor?
A membrane bioreactor (MBR) integrates a membrane process, like microfiltration or ultrafiltration, with a biological process, a suspended growth bioreactor.
The membrane is simply a two-dimensional material that serves as a filter, separating the solids on the basis of their size or electrical charge. The bioreactor is a system contained within a vessel that supports a biologically active environment. The biological process first creates the solids, which are then filtered by the membrane resulting in a clarified and disinfected effluent. The membranes can either be submerged within the bioreactor or housed externally to the reactor.
