In order to ensure a stable and reliable operation of municipal MBR plants, an enhanced mechanical pretreatment of the raw wastewater is essential. Removal of hair, fibrous material and other contraries which can lead to operational problems at the membrane modules is of particular importance. As th

Since the mid nineties the MBR technology has been introduced into municipal wastewater treatment in Europe. First wwtps went in operation performing a conventional mechanical treatment without any advanced mechanical pre-treatment unit. After a short operation period braids were hanging between the

In the future, upgrading of existing wastewater treatment plants (wwtps) will become the more challenging task than erection of wholly new plants, as most of the plants (e.g. necessary in Germany) do exist already. Since some time, MBR technology has been taken into consideration and has been realis
