Immersed membrane technology for advanced wastewater treatment & water reuse

Membrane technology has advanced significantly in the past decade, both for water purification and for wastewater treatment. Today, membrane-based systems have become the preferred technology for many potable water purification applications. Most recently, the combination of membranes with the activated sludge process has redefined basic sewage treatment, optimizing the biological treatment operation and yielding a treated effluent that is ideal for reuse. With the low-pressure, immersed membranes now available, membrane bioreactor technology makes advanced wastewater treatment and water reuse easily achievable, reliable and economically-viable.
