As a wastewater treatment technology that is highly recommended by trusted wastewater treatment plant construction contractors, MBR is considered to be a superior technology compared to conventional activated sludge processes. The main advantages of MBR technology compared to conventional activated sludge process are a smaller aeration tank and footprint due to the higher mixed liquor suspended solids concentrations and also higher volumetric loading rates, lower sludge production, and improved effluent quality as a result of membrane filtration.
