MBC Technology Benefits
-
Minimum head loss – Water flows through the system by gravity.
-
Non-fouling – System can operate under extreme fouling conditions.
-
Small size – Footprint is about one-tenth the size of a similar clarifier/sand filter system.
-
Low capital cost – Cost one-half a membrane system.
-
Low operating cost – Low power consumption and minimal cost of replacement parts.
-
Simple operation – System operation is simple and does not require constant supervision.
-
Rapid startup and shutdown – Startup and shutdown is accomplished within seconds.
-
Minimum sludge generation – Concentrated sludge minimizes dewatering requirements.
-
High flow rates – Modular construction allows for parallel operation and simple scale up.
-
High removal performance – Comparable in compliance performance to a clarifier/sand filter system.
-
High solids loading – Not affected by solids loading fluctuations and levels.
-
High operating reliability – Not affected by floating floc, fouling, or rapid changes in flow rates.
-
No periodic cleaning requirements – Cleaning is continuous so no cleaning shutdowns are required.
-
No flow interruptions – Water flow is not interrupted for cleaning of magnetic ballast.
-
No performance drop off – No drop off in performance with time solids loading.
-
Rugged design – Cannot be catastrophically damaged like membranes and resins.
-
High turndown ratio – Zero to one hundred percent flowrate.
-
No chemical cleaning waste – Membranes require chemical cleaning.
-
Rapid deployment – Easily retrofits into existing systems.
-
Simple operation – Easy to operate with minimum operator training.
