Product description

The MSG-500 single-decker module is a cutting-edge solution for wastewater treatment, specifically designed to address the growing need for efficient and sustainable practices in municipalities and industries. This submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) unit offers a unique approach to biological wastewater treatment, integrating seamlessly into existing tanks while delivering exceptional performance.

Featuring 500 m² of hollow-fiber membrane area within two racks, the module is equipped with innovative JetSplash® “geyser” aeration elements that utilize periodic air pulsing to create upward flows, effectively cleaning the membranes without the need for backwashing. This not only reduces energy demand but also minimizes maintenance requirements, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution.

The key benefits of the MSG-500 module include up to 90% less energy consumption, a 75% smaller physical footprint compared to conventional systems, and reduced machinery complexity. Its compact and modular design allows for easy integration into existing basin layouts, enabling seamless retrofitting without major disruptions.

Furthermore, the lightweight aeration systems minimize oxygen bleed into denitrification zones, enhancing overall efficiency. The module is customizable to meet specific customer requirements through the Built2Fit approach, offering a scalable and sustainable solution that meets stringent water quality standards.

By targeting the removal of microplastics, pathogens, and antibiotic-resistant agents, the MSG-500 module supports municipalities and industries in transitioning to greener wastewater technologies, contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment.
