Submerged MBR Modules for
Biological Wastewater Treatment
It is becoming increasingly challenging for
conventional wastewater treatment plants to keep up
with tighter discharge regulations, urbanization, and
increased demand for water recycling.
BIO-CEL® MBR is a cost-effective
and scalable solution for meeting
challenging effluent requirements for
municipal and industrial wastewater
treatment.
HIGH EFFLUENT QUALITY -
TWO TIMES SMALLER FOOTPRINT
BIO-CEL MBR creates a cleaner, hig-
her quality effluent than conventio-
nal wastewater treatment systems,
using up to two times smaller over-
all footprint due to its high packing
density.
The BIO-CEL ultrafiltration memb-
rane serves as an effective physical
barrier for the retention of solids and
bacteria. The modules produce a
high volume of superior quality eff-
luent at a consistent flow rate. This
is especially useful for water reuse
applications.

SMART MODULE DESIGN -
360° ACCESS
BIO-CEL MBR modules were the first
flat-sheet membrane-based MBR
modules with 360° access. The open
design minimizes dead zones where
braiding and sludge accumulate.
FIVE TIMES LESS CLEANING -
REDUCED CHEMICAL USAGE
The membrane stack can be acces-
sed easily for cleaning and mainte-
nance, facilitating a more thorough
cleaning process and extending
cleaning intervals. Modules can be
cleaned in-situ and do not require a
separate cleaning tank. The BIO-CEL
MBR membrane laminate combines
the advantages of flat sheet and hol-
low fiber membranes, allowing back-
wash and increased durability.
 SELF-HEALING MEMBRANE

BIO-CEL MBR modules were the first
modules to use membrane laminate
technology and the first to benefit
from its self-healing effect.

membrane and the aeration. The membrane
serves as a physical barrier for the retention of
solids and bacteria. The aeration generates the
crossflow, which transports the mixed liquor
along the membrane surface. This crossflow
prevents the accumulation of sludge on the
membrane surface, resulting in a consistent and
reliable operation.
The treated water is collected in a permeate
channel and can be safely discharged. The per-
meate from BIO-CEL® MBR modules may be fed
directly to a reverse osmosis (RO) process.
MICRODYN RO membranes are suitable for this
application.
