Technologies Used in Mobile Wastewater Treatment
Today’s mobile wastewater treatment units are highly sophisticated, often combining several treatment methods to achieve optimal performance. The most common technologies include:
1. Membrane Bioreactors (MBR)
MBR technology integrates biological treatment with membrane filtration, producing very high-quality effluent. It is one of the most popular choices for portable systems due to its small footprint and efficiency.
2. Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBR)
SBR systems treat wastewater in timed cycles, offering simplicity and reliability. Their flexible operation makes them well-suited for mobile installations with fluctuating flow rates.
3. Reverse Osmosis (RO)
For wastewater with high salinity or dissolved contaminants, RO provides advanced purification. Mobile RO units are widely used in industrial applications, including oil & gas, desalination, and chemical processing.
4. Activated Sludge Systems
A classic biological treatment process adapted to mobile formats, activated sludge systems are used when large volumes need to be treated at relatively low cost.
5. Disinfection Technologies
UV disinfection, chlorination, and ozone treatment ensure pathogens are removed before discharge or reuse. These are typically the final stage in mobile wastewater treatment setups
