12 <br />Appendix 2 – Description of Proposed WWTP – Aspiral L5 <br /> <br />Fluence’s MABR Technology is a low energy advanced aerobic biological treatment, based on the <br />Membrane Aeration Biofilm Reactor process, using an enclosed patented spiral membrane aerated <br />biofilm reactor. MABR treatment significantly reduces energy consumption by eliminating the need <br />for compressed air for aeration of the wastewater. A biofilm forms on the breathable membrane <br />assembled in a continuous spiral. A constant stream of low pressure air distributes oxygen to the <br />wastewater through the MABR spirals, which consist of membrane sheets and spacers. This structure <br />produces optimal oxygen transfer efficiency using air diffusion from one side of the membrane to the <br />wastewater on the other side. The oxygen is consumed by nitrifying bacteria on the membrane, <br />creating an anoxic area on the further side of the membrane, where de-nitrification and BOD removal <br />occur. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
