What is membrane bioreactor ?
•Combines physical membrane barrier
with biological treatment
•Replaces clarifiers and filters, and
reduces bioreactor size
•Produces high quality effluent at all
times
Reduce footprint, equipment’s & associated cost and complexity Reuse
•Higher MLSS operation lowers MBR aeration tank volume by ~ 65%
over CAS
•Optimized integration of biological process & UF
•Highly stabilized sludge lowers sludge handling equipment footprint
Lowest footprint for reuse quality effluent

MAJOR PARAMETERS IMPACTING MBR DESIGN

Fibre Strength : Strongest Fibre in the Industry !
•Specialized yarn + in-house braiding = super strong braid = industry leader with strongest
reinforced hollow fiber membrane
•Tensile strength > 600 N vs. ~10 N for non-reinforced PVDF membranes
Patented Potting Technology
•High membrane surface porosity… low viscous potting material guarantees pore
penetration and fiber anchoring
•Soft glue strip acts as cushion during aeration… protects fiber from hard potting
material and reduces fiber fatigue
•Proven life time > 10 years

Continuous Innovation in MBR Market
Over 25 Years of Innovation in R&D
Continuous Improvement:
•Simplified design with relax aeration
instead of backpulse with 500D (2002)
•Increased flow per m2 membrane with
MBR-specific chemistry formulation
introduced with 500D ECO (2007)
•Reduced energy with LEAPmbraeration
(2011)

Permeate and Backpulse pump
Membrane blower

Dosing pumps
Pretreatment –Fine screen
•At inlet of MBR System
•≤2 mm punched hole fine screen

•No bypass and no carry over of the
screening
Benefits of good screening :
Membrane Impacts
Fewer cleans
Longer membrane life
Plant Impacts
Less equipment maintenance

Recovery Cleaning
In-situ soak clean with Sodium hypochlorite or citric acid solution
Frequency depends on application (1-2 times per year) and less if system is running
below design flows
In –situ cleaning (No cassette removal)
Longer contact time (4 -8 Hours)
Higher chemical concentration (500-1000 mg/L soak)
Back pulse chemicals
No need to store spent cleaning fluid

Customer feedback –1
The system and the quality of treated sewage, is far superior to
conventional STPs particularly if one plans on 100 %
consumption of the treated sewage within the campus, ensuring a
zero-discharge campus.
“
”-Director, Premier institute
CONSISTENT QUALITY
One of the strong reason why we wanted this kind of
technology is, many times we observe that the gardenerswhile
watering the plants, consume the water for drinking or may be for
washing the face so we wanted to take extreme care even
that they should not suffer.

"We are using MBR recycled water which is of
'potable quality' for non-potable purposes. We
would like to urge other campuses across India to use ZeeWeed 500
MBR to bring down the stress on fresh water".

1780 mm height x 217mm wide x 277mm deep
For Very Small Flows
<300 KLD
The ZeeWeed 500S micro cassette is a one module cassette
Ideally suited for small flow applications (5 –300 KLD)
Membrane cassette can be installed in bioreactor directly
Common blower for bioreactor and MBR cassettes
No backpulse required, only relaxation
If there is no TN guarantee, RAS pump is not required
MCs are not a part of regular MBR operation with Zeeblok membranes
Dip tank to be considered separately (as part of bioreactor) for RCs
ZeeWeed 500S Advantages
ZW500S –Advantages
