Technologie de bioreacteur à membrane (MBR)

Qualité d'effluent supérieure dans une empreinte compacte pour les applications industrielles et municipales.

🤖 Aperçu IA

La technologie de bioreacteur à membrane (MBR) combine le traitement biologique avec la filtration sur membrane, produisant une qualité d'effluent 10 fois meilleure que les boues activées conventionnelles. Les systèmes MBR atteignent SSB < 5 mg/L, DBO < 5 mg/L, et turbidité < 0,2 UTN — permettant la réutilisation directe de l'eau. BioTerraVa conçoit et intègre des systèmes MBR de 50 m³/j à 50 000 m³/j.

Le défi

Why Upgrade to MBR?

Conventional activated sludge systems struggle with tightening effluent limits, footprint constraints, and variable loads. MBR addresses all three challenges simultaneously.

  • Effluent quality insufficient for reuse or strict discharge limits
  • Footprint constraints preventing expansion
  • Sludge bulking and settling problems
  • High tertiary treatment costs for phosphorus removal
  • Odour and noise from large clarifiers and aeration basins

Comment ça fonctionne

Hollow-Fiber MBR

High packing density, lower capital cost. Ideal for municipal and large industrial applications.

Flat-Sheet MBR

Easier cleaning, lower fouling. Preferred for industrial wastewater with high solids.

Side-Stream MBR

External membrane modules with high cross-flow velocity. Best for high-strength industrial effluent.

Questions fréquemment posées

MBR vs. Conventional Activated Sludge: Total Cost of Ownership Analysis

While MBR capital cost is 20-30% higher than conventional activated sludge, operating savings typically recover the difference within 3-5 years. MBR reduces: (1) sludge hauling by 30%, (2) tertiary chemical costs by 40-60%, (3) footprint requirements by 40%, and (4) operator labour by 20%. For new facilities, the reduced civil works often offset the higher equipment cost entirely.

How much does an MBR system cost for industrial use?

Industrial MBR systems cost $1,500-$5,000 per m³/d depending on scale, wastewater strength, and membrane type. Small systems (<100 m³/d) are at the high end; large systems (>5,000 m³/d) approach the lower end. Total 10-year cost of ownership is typically 15-25% lower than conventional systems due to reduced chemicals, sludge, and labour.
