Luxury Hotel Successfully Treats Wastewater with QUA's EnviQ® Submerged Membrane Bioreactor
| Challenge: | The hotel faced obstacles in recycling water through their conventional treatment method due to the inability to discharge high-quality water from the sewage treatment plant (STP). |
| Solution: | QUA provided the EnviQ 440 XL submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) flat sheet membrane solution. |
| Customer Benefit: | The system has consistently met the client's requirements, maintaining water chemistry stability and reliability while ensuring a steady permeate flow. |
This case discusses how QUA's innovative submerged MBR flat sheet membrane solution successfully addressed a luxury hotel’s water recycling challenges by providing high-quality water and ensuring stability, reliability, and consistent performance since its installation.
QUA's EnviQ 440 XL model, a submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) flat sheet membrane solution.
Challenge
QUA was approached by a client encountering challenges in recycling water through their existing conventional treatment method. The client could not utilize the sewage treatment plant (STP) to discharge water for their specific needs, requiring high-quality water. Additionally, the existing facility had a very limited footprint, making upgrading the system a significant challenge.
Solution
QUA offered the EnviQ 440 XL model, a submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) flat sheet membrane solution, which was evaluated against multiple criteria, including desired membrane surface area flux, footprint, capital investment, as well as low operation and maintenance costs. This innovative solution also reduces the need for secondary and tertiary clarifier treatment.
QUA’s membranes are engineered to enhance the operational efficiency and maintenance of MBR facilities. They ensure reliable and consistent production of ultrafiltration quality effluent. EnviQ’s cutting-edge design incorporates a robust PVDF flat sheet membrane and a proprietary diffuser system, guaranteeing exceptional durability and performance.
Customer Benefits
The system has consistently operated, meeting the client’s requirements since its implementation in 2021. The water chemistry has remained constant, ensuring stability and reliability, and the permeate flow has been consistently maintained within the range of 10-12 m3/hr, demonstrating the MBR system’s steady performance over time.
