4. Technology
A Cembrane membrane is a unique solid-liquid separation technology based on Silicon Carbide (SiC) ceramic
material. It can be used to filter various sources of contaminated water such as:

• Suspended solids
• Bacteria
• Oil
• Heavy metals

4.1 Filtration principle

The filtration principle is submerged outside in, where clean water is drawn through the membrane with
suction pressure. Suspended solids & bacteria are rejected on the membrane surface forming a cake layer
while clean

water is passing through the membrane body and is collected at both end caps.

4.2 Membrane, Module, tower & rack
Our flat sheet membranes are fitted in a square module consisting of 42 membrane sheets that are individ-
ually interchangeable. The modules are submersible and can be stacked individually on top of each other
up to 15 modules in total. The membrane surface area is the determining factor for the capacity of the in-
stallation, the more surface area the more flow through the plant.

Filtered water from each single plate is collected inside the module housing and transported to the top
header integrated in both module housing sides.

4.3 Key features

• Lifting from top module
• Applicable in saline & aggressive water (No Steel parts)
• Improved packing density
• Integrated aeration, permeate & sprinkler inside module tower
• Bottom connection to permeate

 5.4 Performance monitoring (Only for MBR systems)

It is recommended that the MBR system should have the appropriate instrumentation/equipment to measure,
monitor, and record the following operating data:
• Permeate flow rate
• TMP
• MLSS
• Air Scour
• Temperature
• RAS flow
• Effluent (permeate) turbidity

5.5 Mixed Liquor characteristics

A healthy, properly functioning biology is critical for maintaining membrane performance. Poor quality sludge
can lead to rapid fouling, frequent chemical cleaning, and low production rates. The following guidelines in
below Table provide the necessary parameters for achieving a healthy biology. It should be noted that MLSS
quality is site specific and other external factors can easily impact sludge quality.

MLSS requirements and characteristics

MLSS <15.000 mg/l

Temperature 5 – 40 oC
Soluble Ammonia < 1 ppm
Soluble BOD5 < 5 ppm
Soluble COD < 50 ppm
Dissolved Oxygen >1 ppm
pH 6-8
Alkalinity Consult with a specialist
Sludge Filterability >10 ml in 5 min
