Biomembranes for wastewater treatment

Abstract

Engineering laboratory for wastewater treatment of UC3M (Spain), optimizes the set-up and the design of membrane bioreactors (MBR), advised for higher quality of the treated water or to increase the treatment capacity. MBR system is a versatile method that achieves a fast depuration of biodegradable water, where nitrogen and phosphorous removal can be integrated in a simple way. Companies interested in applying or developing this technology or micro and ultra filtration membrane producers who want to extend their market to water treatment by MBR are sought.
