Summarise
This project was a challenge for our engineers because of source greywater differed from the domestic greywater characteristics: BOD was very low, high pH indicator, a large ratio of COD/BOD, which is atypical for greywater, and there were other pollutants, typical for industrial wastewater. Our engineers designed the containerized wastewater treatment plant with the Membrane bioreactor (MBR) with the flat sheet type MBR membranes. We have not only to meet the strict effluent requirements but also to make our equipment fit in the space-limited container.
The project was implemented successfully. The containerized wastewater treatment plant is reliably operating in a continuous mode and the treated effluent fulfills the requirement to be disposed into the river.
