Reinforced PVDF Technology for High-Load, Space-Constrained Wastewater Systems

Across global municipalities and industrial facilities, wastewater treatment is under pressure.

Rising loads.
Stricter discharge norms.
Limited space for expansion.
Growing demand for water reuse.

Conventional activated sludge systems struggle to maintain stability at high MLSS levels and often require large footprints. This is where membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology delivers a structural advantage.

Hydramem MBR membranes are engineered to meet high-load, high-performance demands — without increasing plant size.

• Designed for High MLSS Stability

Hydramem reinforced PVDF membranes handle up to 13,000 ppm MLSS, enabling:

• Higher biomass concentration
• Improved treatment efficiency
• Smaller tank requirements
• Stable process control

High MLSS tolerance allows operators to push biological performance without compromising membrane integrity.

• 40% Space Saving Advantage

Urban retrofits and industrial upgrades face a common constraint — space.

Hydramem MBR systems reduce plant footprint by up to 40%, helping facilities:

• Upgrade within existing infrastructure
• Reduce civil construction costs
• Enable decentralized installations
• Expand capacity without expansion of land

Compact design is not just convenience — it is capital efficiency.

• Superior Effluent Quality for Reuse

Hydramem MBR delivers:

• ≤ 2 ppm TSS
• < 1 NTU turbidity

This ensures:

• Reliable regulatory compliance
• Reduced polishing stages
• Improved reuse potential
• Consistent discharge performance

For facilities targeting water reuse or stringent discharge standards, stable effluent quality is non-negotiable.

• Reinforced PVDF Durability

Membrane longevity determines lifecycle economics.

Hydramem’s reinforced PVDF design offers:

• High mechanical strength
• Chemical resistance
• Stability under variable loads
• Long operational life

Available in both single cassette modules and complete module skids, the system adapts to municipal and industrial applications.

A Smarter Upgrade Path

Hydramem MBR enables operators to:

• Increase load handling
• Reduce footprint
• Improve effluent quality
• Strengthen reuse readiness

Without compromising reliability.
