1

Facultative Membrane Bioreactor Bioreactor
On-site treatment to enable water reuse

Expensive sewer line collection system

2

Facultative Membrane Bioreactor Bioreactor
On-site treatment to enable water reuse
Generates a large amount of waste sludge

3

Reduction of waste sludge by at least 65%
Consumes significant amounts of energy

4

More than 50% in energy savings
Significant on-site construction

5

Pre-assembled and bolted on concrete platform
Wastewater not treated adequately especially nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus)

6

Nitrogen < 5 mg/L; Phosphorus<0.5 mg/L nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus)

Expensive to construct and maintain

7

Operating Cost < 75% of conventional technology
