TheWay MBR-10 Technical Datasheet: 10 m² Pilot Module

The TheWay MBR-10 is a compact pilot-scale membrane bioreactor module for bench testing, pilot studies, and small-scale decentralized wastewater treatment. With 10 m² of PVDF hollow fiber membrane area, engineers can evaluate MBR performance under site-specific conditions before full-scale deployment.

Key Specifications

Operating Parameters

Pilot Testing Applications

The MBR-10 is engineered for pilot studies where accurate scale-up data is critical. Applications include critical flux determination, fouling rate characterization, cleaning protocol optimization, and sludge filterability assessment. The 10 m² area generates meaningful long-term data with recommended 3–6 month pilot duration.

Chemical Compatibility

Storage and Handling

Store at 5–40°C away from sunlight. At 15 kg dry weight, single-person handling is easy. Pre-wet membranes 30 minutes before first use. Perform integrity testing before each pilot run. For storage between campaigns, clean and immerse in 0.5% sodium bisulfite, refreshing every 30 days.

FAQ

Q: Can MBR-10 pilot data scale to full-scale MBR-40 systems?

A: Yes. Identical PVDF membrane means flux, TMP, and fouling data transfer directly with standard safety factors.

Q: What pilot equipment is needed?

A: 500L aeration tank, air blower, suction pump, flow meter, TMP gauge, and backwash timer. TheWay offers complete packages.

Q: Suitable for permanent small-scale installations?

A: Yes. Produces up to 5 m³/day per module for small communities, resorts, and buildings.
