Water Reuse
Polishing trains that put treated effluent back into non-potable service.
Products & Solutions
Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)
Ultrafiltration combined with the activated sludge process — the most advanced technology available in the market.
Overview
Ultrafiltration in place of a settling tank
Membrane Bioreactor — MBR — is the combination of ultrafiltration (UF) and the activated sludge process. Instead of relying on a secondary clarifier to separate biomass from treated water, an ultrafiltration membrane does the separation directly inside or immediately after the bioreactor.
Because separation no longer depends on how well the sludge settles, the process can be operated at much higher biomass concentrations, in a smaller tank, with an absolute barrier to suspended solids and bacteria in the permeate.
Ion Agua has helped various customers from Municipal to Industrial to Food and Beverage for treating and recycling the water for non-potable purposes. MBR is an excellent option for retrofit and refurbishment projects to improve and upgrade the current WWTP installations.

Applications
Where MBR is the right selection
- Treating and recycling water — for non-potable purposes — the reason customers select MBR
- Retrofit and refurbishment — an excellent option for improving and upgrading current WWTP installations
- Municipal schemes — one of the sectors Ion Agua has delivered MBR into
- Industrial effluent — where the treated stream is being returned to service
- Food and beverage effluent — reuse for washing and clean-in-place duty
