Bio-Brane
The Bio-Brane™ is an advanced wastewater treatment system that employs membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology in combination with Bio-Wheel™ technology for process aeration. The combination of these two advanced technologies allows both extremely high effluent quality while off-setting the increased energy requirements associated with membrane air scouring.
System Design
Other advantages of the Bio-WheelTM such as improved nutrient removal and resistance to process upsets are also achieved, leading to a state-of-the-art approach to wastewater treatment.
The integration of fixed-film, suspended growth and membrane processes in Bio-Brane™ systems achieve a high effluent quality and low footprint associated with membrane filtration while maintaining a low level of energy consumption through the Bio-Wheel™
technology. The fixed-film growth also leads to the proliferation of mature bacteria that hold the potential to remove refractory compounds, further enhancing the effluent quality of the system.
