Mbr module for wastewater treatment

Optimize your wastewater management with efficient membrane bioreactors, designed to enhance effluent quality while reducing aeration energy consumption and operational footprints.

Filters and Purifies Industrial Wastewater

The PURON® MBR and PULSION® MBR Modules from Kovalus Separation Solutions are engineered to optimize wastewater management across diverse industrial applications. Featuring reinforced PVDF hollow fibers, the PURON® MBR minimizes clogging while effectively filtering solids and particulates. The PULSION® MBR uniquely employs a pulsating large bubble through its chambered fiber bundle, reducing aeration energy by up to 40% and providing improved recirculation. Suitable for industries such as dairy, food, beverage, and mining, these modules consistently deliver high-quality effluent, lowering BOD and nitrogen levels without the need for air cycle valves. Available as pre-engineered or custom solutions, they integrate seamlessly into existing operations with reduced energy consumption and economic benefits from a smaller equipment footprint. With optional configurations for ease of maintenance and enhanced system efficiency, these modules are a robust choice for both municipal and industrial wastewater challenges.

Benefits
