Unlocking reliable RO performance after biological treatment.
Many industrial facilities rely on membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems for wastewater treatment because of their efficiency in removing biodegradable organics and small footprint. However, when it comes to achieving water reuse through reverse osmosis (RO), MBR effluent often poses unique challenges. ZwitterCo’s Elevation RO delivers unmatched fouling resistance and durability, making it the ideal solution for facilities looking to reuse MBR-treated wastewater reliably and cost-effectively.
Common Applications of MBR + RO Systems
MBR followed by RO is a well-established treatment train in industries seeking high-quality water reuse. Elevation RO enhances this approach, bringing membrane resilience and stable performance to the following sectors:
Food & Beverage
Reuse of process wash water or CIP effluent
Breweries & Distilleries
Treatment of stillage wastewater
Textiles & Dyeing
Removal of colorants and salts post-MBR
Pharmaceuticals & Biotech
Advanced treatment for high-organic effluent
Refineries & Petrochemicals
Recovery of wastewater in high-COD environments
Municipal & Decentralized Reuse
Compact reuse systems for satellite facilities
Elevation membranes for MBR Effluent:
Membranes with the Highest Resistance to Organic Fouling
Membranes Built with ZwitterShield™
Shorten cleaning duration and extend time between cleaning cycles
Clean with simple chemicals instead of expensive, formulated cleaners
Reliable operations
Proven results. Minimal cleaning.
With Elevation RO, operators can expect:
- Extended Runtime: Reduced cleaning frequency compared to traditional RO
- Lower Lifecycle Cost: Fewer replacements, less downtime, and reduced OPEX
- Seamless Integration: Drop-in compatibility with existing RO systems
