Membrane Bioreactor
New Technology Comes To Colorado!
The membrane bioreactor (MBR System) combines the activated sludge treatment process with the solids separation properties of membrane technology. The MBR system provides treatment through primary settling and biological process. The MBR system is designed to remove BOD, TSS, nitrogen, and Fecal Coliform. The membrane is submerged in the mixed liquor (mixture of wastewater and organisms formed by the conversion of organics in the wastewater into solids) and provides a barrier that retains microorganisms, allowing them to remain in the treatment process for long periods of time. The membrane module consists of flat sheet membranes arranged in a cartridge. A high mixed liquor suspended solids concentration in the aeration zone provides biological treatment. The final effluent or permeate is pulled out by an external pump through the MBR membranes leaving behind large organic and inorganic particles for further digestion or wasting. The solids that are sloughed by aeration and membrane cleaning are retained in the aeration compartment. The treatment zone must be periodically pumped to reduce the solids. Effluent must pass through the membrane to be discharged from the unit. The aeration system runs when the permeate pump is activated by a float system. The off time provides a resting period for the MBR unit. The rest periods allow the membranes to relax which helps in membrane filtration capability. The aeration system provides scouring for the membranes and oxygen to the biological process. When the permeate pump is not running the aeration system runs on a timer that activates the blower based on a pre‐determined time. When the aeration operates the solid are broken up by turbulence. All pumps, timers and aeration equipment shall be controlled at the control panel. If Total Nitrogen removal is needed an additional recirculation pump would be added to the mixed liquor treatment zone that would be controlled to return the amount of nitrified waste to either an anoxic area or the settling area for denitrification. Why a Membrane BioReactor?
• Meets the most stringent State Regulatory requirements
• Effluent quality of BOD <2 mg/L, TSS <2, Ammonia <1
• Effective at removing harmful pathogens from wastewater
• Reduces Fecal Coliform & E. Coli: <10 CFU (colony forming units)
Unbeatable Wastewater Treatment
Residential BioBarrier
We have several of these BioBarrier MBR systems installed and functioning in Colorado. The effluent quality is incredible! We believe that this cutting edge technology will catch on fast. We love this product and see it being utilized in many applications.
Commercial Systems
Handles high-strength waste no problem. Great technology for schools, RV Parks, gas stations, restaurants, Shopping centers etc..
Environmentally Sensitive Areas
Mother nature is a big fan!
Residential Wastewater Treatment Systems
RetroFAST
The RetroFAST can be installed in an existing tank to provide secondary treatment. We have installed many of these in Colorado. They are simple, inexpensive and very low maintenance. We have also had success rejuvenating failing drainfields with this product.
Commercial Systems
These larger wastewater treatment systems provide small communities, subdivisions, apartment buildings, and other clustered residential developments with innovative and affordable alternatives to municipal treatment facilities.
High Strength Commercial Systems
We at ITS, Inc.excel in high strength wastewater treatment , such as retail or wholesale trade buildings, hotels, restaurants, offices, churches, gas stations, schools, and other such applications. Our products are designed to tackle high strength waste with low maintenance. We provide a large variety of products and services to meet your needs.
