The 1,500-m2 Puron module for membrane bioreactor (MBR) applications features an optimized permeate extraction manifold and air supply lines, thus reducing the number of piping connections during installation. Designed for large-scale MBR projects, the module promises optimal solids management and a high flowrate, while using up to 50% less energy than other MBR systems — an efficiency achieved by the use of a single header with hollow fibers that are fixed only at the bottom. This helps to prevent the buildup of materials like hair that can clog membrane fibers in MBR designs that employ both a top and bottom header. The device also comes with a 20% more efficient aeration system than the original design. It can be ordered in 500-, or 250-m2 membrane area configurations. — Booth 26084 — Koch Membrane Systems, Inc., Wilmington, Mass.
