Compact 33V ultrafiltration membrane

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Pentair X-Flow has developed the Airlift™ Membrane BioReactor (MBR) to address increasing wastewater disposal costs and groundwater usage limitations. This system is designed for efficient wastewater treatment, featuring Compact 33V ultrafiltration membrane modules.

Key Features

Membrane placement outside the bioreactor.
True ultrafiltration with turbidity < 0.1 NTU and Silt Density Index < 3.
Fully automated cleaning with low-cost chemicals.
Low energy consumption (~0.3 kWh/m³) and high flux rates.
Fully automatic operation with parameter logging.
Enclosed system preventing operator exposure to fumes.

Applications

Municipal wastewater treatment.
Industrial applications, including beverage, refineries, automotive, chemical, and textile industries.

System Design and Efficiency
The Airlift™ MBR system features membranes positioned outside the bioreactor, aerated continuously to maintain high flux rates and low energy consumption. This design allows for higher biomass concentration and reduced sludge carryover, making it suitable for both densely populated and remote areas.

Specifications

Membrane area: 33 m² (335 ft²).
Membrane diameter: 5.2 mm (205 mil).
Permeate Silt Density Index: < 3.
Permeate turbidity: < 0.1 NTU.

Low energy AND high efficiency General information Key features Applications Due to more stringent requirements for wastewater discharge, the disposal cost of municipal and industrial wastewater is increasing. In addition, in some areas, the use of groundwater is being limited to prevent dehydration of the soil, which could have a destructive influence on nature’s flora and fauna. With these factors in mind, the need for a closed water cycle is increasing rapidly. For efficient wastewater treatment, Pentair X-Flow has developed the Airlift™ Membrane BioReactor (MBR). Membrane placement • unicipal...

AIRLIFT™ MBR PRINCIPLE clean & compact design EFFICIENCY & SUSTAINABILITY The Airlift™ MBR system consists of a loop with membranes positioned outside the bioreactor tank rather than having the membranes in the bioreactor or a separate part of the bioreactor as in submerged concepts. The membrane modules are arranged vertically and are aerated continuously at the bottom. The turbulence created by the air injection enables high flux rates at a very low Trans Membrane Pressure (TMP) and a low energy consumption of 0.3 kWh/m³. The Pentair Airlift™ MBR is a compact-built purification system combining...
