The MBR Membrane is a type of water treatment that is becoming increasingly popular in various industries. MBR Membranes can remove suspended solids, bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants from water, making it safe to discharge. In this article, we will explain the steps you need to take to ensure successful commissioning.

How To Commission The MBR Membrane With Clean Water?

Step 1: Ensure the air and water pipes are properly connected, and the joints of the bolts are tightened.

Step 2: Check whether the automation of blowers and production pumps meets the requirements.

Step 3: Open the air exhaust valve to remove the air from the MBR membrane element.

Step 4: Put clean water (tap or filtered) to the operational level.

Close the air exhaust valve.

Step 5: Confirm the aeration volume and aeration uniformity after turning on the air blower.

Step 6: When commissioning with the clear water, fill the production water pump and production water pipeline with water, start the production water pump and record the membrane suction flux, trans-membrane pressure difference, water temperature, etc.

Precautions:

  • The membrane element must be soaked in water for more than 8 hours before starting the water production pump to produce water.
  • The membrane must be kept in a moist state after clear water commissioning; a dry membrane will decrease water permeability.

The above is information about commissioning MBR membrane system with clean water. If you still have related questions about the membrane bioreactor, please feel free to contact SPERTA.

How to Do Offline Chemical Cleaning For MBR Membranes

Step 1: Remove the suction tube and the aeration tube from the MBR module. Then take the MBR module out of the tank. 

Step 2: Use a nozzle to clean and remove the activated sludge attached to the surface of the fibers.

Step 3: Take the MBR elements out of the module and immerse the elements in a prescribed chemical solution tank. Stay for 6-12 hours.

Step 4: Take out the MBR element from the immersion cleaning tank and wash it thoroughly with water to remove the chemical solution.

Step 5: Install the MBR on the MBR module after cleaning.

Step 6: Connect the aeration pipe and put the module in the tank. Stop the filtration, just let the aeration run for more than 30 minutes, and then start the filtration.

Step 7: Before discharging the chemical solution, reduce the sodium hypochlorite with sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3 NH2O), and then discharge.

Step 8: If there is a large amount of inorganic scale on the surface of the MBR after sodium hypochlorite washing, acid washing is also needed.
