Product catalog summary
Overview of HUBER MBR System
The HUBER MBR system integrates biological wastewater treatment with high-efficiency solids/liquid separation using ultrafiltration plate membranes. These membranes, made from polyether sulphone, have a nominal pore size of 0.038 μm, effectively filtering out solids, bacteria, and most viruses. The system's compact design requires only 25-40% of the space needed for conventional systems, allowing for higher DS concentrations in the aeration tank and reducing the need for additional treatment stages.
Advantages of the MBR System
  • No need for secondary clarification or additional treatment steps.
  • Compact design with minimal space requirements.
  • Produces excellent effluent quality suitable for reuse.
  • Low surplus sludge production, reducing sludge thickening costs.
Technical Specifications
  • Typical effluent values: BOD5 < 5 mg/l, COD < 30 mg/l, Ntotal < 10 mg/l, Ptotal < 0.5 mg/l, SS < 1 mg/l.
  • Membrane pore size: 0.038 μm, retaining bacteria, viruses, and germs.
Product Portfolio and Applications
  • HUBER smartMBR: 10 – 75 m³/day
  • HUBER BioMem®: 10 – 300 m³/day
  • HUBER VRM®: > 300 m³/day
Global Installations
HUBER MBR systems are installed worldwide in various sectors, including municipal, industrial, and decentralized applications. Examples include installations in hotels, municipal sewage treatment plants, and industries such as meat processing, textiles, and beverages.
Additional Benefits
  • Complete solutions from HUBER with minimal maintenance and low operational costs.
  • Durable flat membranes made from PES material.
  • No need for permeate backwashing or complex control systems.
  • High-quality stainless steel construction and global service support.

The HUBER MBR system is a combination of biological wastewater treatment and high-efficient solids/liquid separation. Mechanically pre-screened wastewater is treated biologically and separated from the activated sludge by ultrafiltration plate membranes. We use membranes made of polyether sulphone with very good filtration properties and a nominal pore size of 150 kDA (38 nm = 0.038 μm). The pores are small enough to prevent passage of all solids and bacteria, cells, fats, oils, colloids, macromolecules as well as of most viruses. Reactor volume of MBR systems and their space requirement is only...
