How to Calculate the Required Membrane Area in MBR Design?
In MBR (membrane bioreactor) system design, membrane area is a key parameter that determines system stability, water production capacity, and membrane lifespan. Properly sizing the membrane area requires starting from the treatment flow and considering membrane type, effective filtration area, and operating conditions. Today, let’s take a deep look into the design objectives, key parameters, […]
MBR Operating Costs: What Really Drives OPEX?
MBR systems are widely used in wastewater treatment due to their high effluent quality, small footprint, and flexibility for water reuse. However, efficient operation depends on precise control of OPEX. In this article, we take a closer look at the key operating cost drivers of MBR systems and discuss practical ways to manage and optimize […]

Integrate monitoring and control Overall, these challenges involve hardware, process matching, operational control, membrane protection, and maintenance planning. They are key to stable and efficient MBR operation. What Steps Does an […]
How to Calculate MBR Membrane Surface Area
When designing MBR systems, membrane area is a critical parameter. It directly affects system capacity, operational safety margins, and membrane service life. For engineers and project decision-makers, understanding how membrane area is calculated is essential to making informed choices in membrane selection, system sizing, and operational management.This article explains the principles of membrane area calculation […]
What Is Bio-Cord Media in Wastewater Treatment?
Bio-Cord media is a rope-type biological media that increases attached biomass and improves treatment stability without expanding tank volume. Bio-Cord media uses polymer fibers woven into multi-strand ropes. We install it by either hanging it or mounting it inside biological reactors. Water flow and aeration cause slight movement, which helps microorganisms attach quickly and form […]
