The ADI-MBR process is an activated sludge system that uses a physical membrane for liquid-solids separation utilizing Kubota flat plate cross-flow membrane technology. The ADI-MBR system has a shorter hydraulic retention time (smaller footprint), but a longer solids retention time (better soluble COD removal), than conventional activated sludge systems.

System monitoring is minimal, as the process operates automatically. ADI provides a complete turnkey system, start-up, operator training, and follow-up.

Benefits of membrane technology:

• Superior effluent quality (BOD<5mg/L, TSS=N.D.)
• Compact, small footprint
• Low sludge production
• Simple to operate and maintain
• Concentrated sludge is wasted directly from the aeration tank
• Reduce or eliminate disinfection
• Low effluent nutrient levels
• Energy-saving

Benefits of ADI-MBR membrane system:

• Low fouling rate
• Easily cleaned, as infrequently as semi-annually
• Resistant to delamination and tearing
• Low operating and maintenance costs
• Over 1600 installations using this membrane technology worldwide
• Long membrane life
