Mitsubishi STERAPORE Ultrafiltration Hollow Fiber Membrane for Bioreactor (MBR), offering the most efficient and compact technology.

The submerged ultrafiltration (UF) membrane technology is widely recognized worldwide for its application in MBR (membrane bioreactor) systems, ideal for wastewater treatment. These systems provide excellent treated water quality for reuse, occupying less space compared to conventional systems. With Mitsubishi Chemical, we offer highly energy-efficient solutions for treating industrial, municipal, and urban effluents, delivering superior quality effluent for reuse.

Why choose MBR Technology?

• Ultrafiltration with Water Reuse and Circularity Potential

• Higher Water Quality in Less Space

• Better footprint: A compact and efficient technology requiring less space to treat the same amount of water as conventional systems.

• Upgrading / Revamping: Technology that can be integrated into existing reactors to improve water quality and optimize management.

Why Sterapore Membranes?

• Mitsubishi combines the best of MBR membrane technology

• Hollow Fiber with Best Operating Characteristics

• Increased Permeate Area: Sterapore membranes allow an increase in membrane surface area without the need to expand tanks, resulting in higher filtration efficiency in the same space.

• Reduced Energy Consumption: These membranes reduce energy consumption with a high packing density, hollow fiber structure, and efficient use of space, lowering aeration requirements.

• Simplified Cleaning: No need to drain the membrane tank for CIP cleaning, enabling in-situ cleaning without process interruption. Additionally, these membranes operate with filtration and relaxation phases, eliminating the need for backwashing.

• Proven Durability: Sterapore membranes offer proven resistance, withstanding high weight loads without breaking.

• No Length Adjustments Needed: There is no need to adjust the membrane length after operation, ensuring a long service life without compromising performance.

Additional Benefits:

• Modular Integration: The design allows installation within the biological reactor, reducing air demand and eliminating the need for recirculation pumps.

• Easy Storage: Hydrophilic membrane surface for easy handling and system startup, with storage life up to 36 months under dry conditions.

• No Need to Drain the Membrane Tank: High permeate structure allows backpulse with chemical solutions, only requiring in-situ CIP without draining the membrane tank.

• No Need for Backwash: Simple system with high recovery rate, no reversible pump needed.

• Available Integrated MBR System: Separate or integrated MBR systems available, optimizing the system and reducing aeration demand and RAS pumps.
