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 requires significantly less space (25-40% of conventional systems) and increases DS concentration in the aeration tank to 10-12 g/l, eliminating the need for secondary clarifiers or additional treatment stages.

Advantages of the MBR System

No need for secondary clarification, sand filtration, or UV disinfection.
Compact design with minimal space requirements.
Produces excellent effluent quality suitable for reuse.
Reduces surplus sludge production by over 50%.

Plant Description and Effluent Values
The system includes mechanical pre-screening, a buffer tank, and a HUBER BioMem® filtration unit. Typical effluent values are BOD5 < 5 mg/l, COD < 30 mg/l, Ntotal < 10 mg/l, Ptotal < 0.5 mg/l, and SS < 1 mg/l.

Advantages of HUBER MBR System

Complete solution from one source with low maintenance and operation costs.
Utilizes flat, durable PES membranes with no need for permeate backwashing.
Minimal pre-treatment requirements and infrequent chemical cleaning.
Constructed with high-quality stainless steel and supported by global HUBER service.

Sizes and Applications
HUBER offers a range of membrane sizes to adapt to various inflow conditions and flow rates, including HUBER smartMBR (10-75 m³/day), HUBER BioMem® (10-300 m³/day), and HUBER VRM® (>300 m³/day). These solutions cater to industrial, municipal, centralized, or decentralized applications across all wastewater treatment stages.

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...
