What is BioBarrier®?
The BioBarrier® is a wastewater treatment system that uses a Membrane Bioreactor (MBR). This technology removes organic pollutants and suspended solids with the use of ultrafiltration membranes. The membrane system replaces the clarifier, sand filter, and disinfection processes used in many conventional wastewater treatment processes.
How Does it Work?
The membrane module is submerged in a tank full of aerated MLSS (Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids), where organic matter and suspended solids are biologically broken down. The membranes physically separate water from microorganisms and suspended solids. Water is drawn through the membranes with a pump, leaving the suspended biomass material in the aeration tank.
