miniMBR®

The Innovatreat miniMBR® is an exceptionally efficient pre-engineered wastewater treatment system engineered for decentralized nutrient removal and water reuse applications.

The miniMBR® employs externally mounted, vertically oriented tubular ultra-filter membranes for biomass separation. Its distinctive hydraulic pattern contributes to the highest energy efficiency of any MBR technology currently available on the market.

Operating with industry-low airScrub™ (air scour) rates, the miniMBR® produces permeate (clean effluent) with the lowest energy per gallon of any competing MBR technology. Furthermore, the low air scour rates enhance the efficiency of the BNR/ENR process, thereby achieving the highest levels of nitrogen reduction and necessitating the lowest dosages of supplemental carbon.

The standard miniMBR® features provide remarkably efficient process turn-down, a challenge faced by competitors’ immersed MBR products. Utilizing automated backwash techniques and a unique Membrane Laundry™ CIP (clean in place) process, our innovative system ensures maximum permeability, extended membrane life, and high-quality treated effluent with minimal operator intervention.

The compact and highly integrated miniMBR® skids offer operational and maintenance ease unparalleled by conventional membrane process equipment. For the average operator of our small systems, any serviceable component within the miniMBR® (pumps, valves, blowers, instruments, and even our membranes) can be replaced using standard mechanic’s tools, such as adjustable wrenches, flat-blade screwdrivers, and others. </p>
