Membrane bioreactors have become mainstream technology within the municipal markets. Some MBRs have been operating for close to twenty years. This presentation will discuss how an operator monitors the performance and health of the membranes in an MBR facility, as well as how a plant should plan for membrane replacement given that the age of MBR facilities is getting longer. When do you know your membranes are performing well, or as expected? How do you know if performance is declining? If there is a problem, how do you identify it and what do you do to fix it?
