The Product
What is MBR Technology?
Membrane filtration is a liquid separation process in conjunction with the activated sludge process that treats and removes pollution from wastewater producing two outputs:
• A highly purified effluent
• A concentrated sludge

WHAT CAN GO WRONGWHAT CAN GO WRONG
Failure to achieve flow rate
• Plant too small
• Wrong / incorrect flow rates given / used
• Membrane fouling – operation
• Membrane fouling – nature of effluent
Failure to achieve consent• Plant too small
• Wrong / incorrect loadings given / used
• Operation – Blower failure, Too high MLSS
• Alkalinity > seven times Ammonia for removal

Operation and MaintenanceOperation and Maintenance
• To Maintain Permeate Quality• To Maintain Permeate Flow rate
• Planned Maintenance/Servicing
• Planned maintenance will coincide with either chemical clean or desludge
• Desludge – approx 3 months• Chemical clean – approx 6 months
![Page 55: Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) Packaged - Engineers Ireland](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021008/6203a209da24ad121e4baad3/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
O&M Overview
Maintaining Permeate Quality
Two Factors influence permeate quality
• Integrity of membrane panels and permeate pipework
• Biological removal of organic and nutrient pollutants
![Page 56: Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) Packaged - Engineers Ireland](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021008/6203a209da24ad121e4baad3/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
O&M Overview
Maintaining Permeate Flowrate
Six factors that influence permeate flow rate
• Differential Pressure
• Temperature
• Aeration
• Foulants
• MLSS concentration
• Inter- clogging between membranes
![Page 57: Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) Packaged - Engineers Ireland](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021008/6203a209da24ad121e4baad3/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Typical MBR WwTW Requirements
O&M Overview
• Daily automatic sludge-flush of air diffusers (30-60s)
• Daily automatic ‘membrane relaxation’ procedure (30 mins)
• Regular automatic sludge removal
• Site visit once a month
• Two in-situ yearly chemical cleans with either dilute hypo or acid
![Page 58: Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) Packaged - Engineers Ireland](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021008/6203a209da24ad121e4baad3/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
• In-situ, semi-automatic procedure
• Requires one operator
• Organic foulants removed with 0.5% NaOCl
• Inorganic precipitants removed with dilute acid
• Spent cleaning solution diluted within the MBR tank

• Consistent high quality disinfected effluent
• Compact, low maintenance, robust
• Membrane replacement costs continue to decrease
• Lower sludge production & concentrated sludgeleading to lower transportation costs
• The MBR solution is not the option for all sites
Conclusions
![Page 62: Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) Packaged - Engineers Ireland](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021008/6203a209da24ad121e4baad3/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Viable option where :
•Low peak to average flow ratio
•Very tight discharge standards
•Space restrictions
•Re-Use Requirement
EU – Wide Standardisation of Membranes
Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme (25%/yr on a reducing balance for 10yrs/re-use 30% treated effluent)
