GE introduces new MBR for industrial wastewater

摘要

GE has launched a new membrane bioreactor (MBR) with membrane accommodating carrier (MACarrier), designed to help industrial companies meet stringent water discharge requirements and enable greater water reuse, while achieving cost savings and increased operating efficiency. GE announced the launch at the recent IFAT trade show in Munich, Germany. The new MBR integrates MACarrier with GE's ZeeWeed 500D membranes, which the company says enhances the removal of recalcitrant organics and toxicity and can achieve a chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction of more than 50 percent compared to a MBR without MACarrier. The ability of the MACarrier to be biologically regenerated in the bioreactor cuts down on operational costs.
