Porlock WWTP-Showcasing Kubota Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Technology at Europe's Oldest and Longest-Running MBR Plant

摘要

Since the 1970s, water pqllution has had a significant environmental impact globally, leading to the development and implementation of various international directives and increasingly more stringent legislation aimed at preserving the water environment. Under such conditions, the Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) process has become established as remarkably effective technology for achieving a high quality effluent which is environmentally friendly and suitable for reuse. The MBR principle involves coupling a conventional Activated Sludge (AS) process with a membrane filtration process to concentrate simultaneously the biomass whilst generating a clarified and disinfected water.
