Technology and Features

Toray's "MEMBRAY" modules utilize advanced membrane separation technology and nanotechnology to enhance MBR system performance.

  • Module Configuration: Comprises an element block (containing multiple membrane elements with flat sheet membranes attached to supporting panels, connected to a permeated water manifold) and an aeration block (with air diffusers).
  • Better Membrane Materials: Features PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) for the functional layer and PET (polyester) non-woven fabric as the base layer, providing superior physical strength and chemical stability.
  • Flat Sheet Design: A simple flat sheet configuration with a modified membrane surface nature allows for effective cleaning by an upward stream of water generated by scouring air diffused below it. This mechanism ensures stable filtration by preventing sludge adherence.
  • Unique Membrane Structure: Characterized by numerous small-diameter pores, evenly distributed with a narrow diameter distribution, which contributes to higher treated water quality, minimizes membrane fouling and pore clogging, and ensures consistently high water permeability.
    • Many 0.08 micron pores effectively eliminate particles 0.1 micron and larger, improving effluent quality.
    • Uniform pore size maintains consistently high permeability with minimal pore clogging.
  • Reduced Cleaning & Pretreatment Needs:
    • The plate-and-frame configuration is inherently stronger against fouling compared to hollow fiber membranes, leading to fewer chemical cleaning requirements.
    • Reduced module fouling from human hair and other obstructive substances allows for coarse screening as a pretreatment process.
  • Energy Efficiency: Consumes less energy compared to hollow fiber membranes due to more effective scouring aeration and lower trans-membrane pressure.
  • Smaller Footprint:
    • The module can be submerged directly in an activated sludge tank, combining biological treatment and membrane separation, thereby eliminating the need for sedimentation or sludge concentration processes.
    • More effective biological treatment allows for a reduction in activated sludge tank size.
  • Enhanced Wastewater Treatment Efficiency:
    • Membranes effectively separate sludge, resulting in much higher quality treated water free from suspended solids.
    • Combination with RO membranes allows for producing water quality suitable for potable use.
    • Membranes can retain activated sludge at high concentrations, enabling more efficient removal of BOD and nitrogen.
    • The unique membrane configuration, with an immense number of minuscule pores, delivers stable high water permeability with minimal clogging and higher permeated water quality.
