Hynds MBR Commercial Systems
The Hynds Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) system is a unique wastewater treatment process utilizing the latest state-of-the-art membrane technology. By combining suspended growth biological treatment with immersed membrane technology, an effluent quality of the highest standard is produced.

The effective pore size of 0.01 microns (ultra filtration) removes viruses and all other pathogenic micro organisms so no further disinfection is required. The effluent quality is typically better than 5:5:5 BOD5 : Suspended Solids : Ammonia.
Hynds MBR wastewater systems are suitable for any large residential or commercial development requiring wastewater treatment, not connected to the municipal sewer mains.

Typical applications include:
  • Sub-divisions
  • Schools
  • Community halls
  • Maraes
  • Campgrounds
  • Factories
  • Wineries and restaurants
  • Parks and resorts
The sizing of a Hynds MBR wastewater system is based on the peak flows expected. Typical flows range from 3,000 to 200,000 litres per day.

Hynds Environmental offers a design service to help you design the optimal solution for your site. A trained technician will assess the physical requirements of the system onsite to provide an accurate quotation to design and install a Hynds MBR wastewater system.

Hynds Environmental offers an annual servicing contract to service the MBR wastewater system, which is completed by a trained technician.

The Hynds MBR wastewater system produces a very high quality disinfected effluent. The incoming wastewater generally only requires primary settlement or screening and de-gritting prior to entering the membrane bioreactor tank. The process requires no secondary settlement stages and no additional tertiary treatment or UV stages. A very high disinfection quality is achieved, typically better than 5:5:5 BOD5 : Suspended Solids : Ammonia.

Hynds MBR wastewater technology employs simple flat sheet membrane panels housed in stainless steel units and aerated by a coarse bubble system below each unit. A series of these membranes are submerged within an activated sludge treatment tank. The aeration necessary for the treatment of the liquors generates an upward cross-flow over the membranes, essential to keep fouling of the filtration surface to a minimum.

The membrane panels are securely retained and do not touch or abrade each other. The units also act as a flume to ensure effective tank mixing and even distribution of the biomass. The membrane panels are manufactured with a pore size in the range of 0.1 to 0.4 microns. In operation these panels become covered by a dynamic layer of protein and cellular material, providing an effective pore size of less than 0.01 microns. This is within the ultra filtration range.
  • Most advanced wastewater technology available.
  • Viruses are removed through ultra filtration so no further disinfection required.
  • Effluent is suitable for direct discharge into most waterways.
  • Simple retrofit for the upgrading of an existing system.
  • Alarmed system with full 24-hour emergency storage capacity.
  • Very small plant footprint requirements compared to other processes.
  • Modular design that is easily expandable.
  • Low maintenance requirement.
