The MBR Short Course (2 Day)

This course provides comprehensive, up-to-date information on the design and operational aspects of MBR technology and its applications. The course includes hard data from commercial technologies and actual reference sites. It is aimed at a broad section of stakeholders, including end users, consultants, contractors, regulators, technology providers and researchers in wastewater treatment technology for both industrial and municipal effluents.

What is Covered?

• Industrial effluent treatment using MBRs
• Municipal wastewater treatment using MBRs
• Comparative costs with conventional treatment
• Membrane separation process fundamentals
• MBR membrane technology configurations
• MBR process design
• MBR operation and maintenance
• Commercial MBR membrane products and process technologies
• Case studies.

Learning is reinforced through tutorials on membrane technology and biological treatment, as well as a group assignment which encompasses aspects of MBR design and O&M. An informal forum is included for open discussion, and queries and questions from delegates are actively encouraged. The course is limited to a maximum of 18 delegates.

Course Outcomes

• the market position of MBR technology
• the fundamentals and governing principles of membrane separation processes
• the fundamentals and governing principles of biological treatment, as it relates to MBRs
• the key technical constituents of the MBR process treatment scheme, and their specifications
• the constituent costs of the process, and their comparison with conventional treatment
• the extent of the commercial MBR membrane technologies
• the extent of the implementation of the technology as pertaining to key example municipal and industrial installations, and
• perform basic calculations relating to MBR process design.
