Chemical process wastewater is treated at the plant with anoxic and aerobic processes
followed by membrane filtration and reverse osmosis at a capacity of 10,000 cubic m³/d.
The MBR modules are part of a plant upgrade, undertaken to meet stringent plant water
recycle requirements. Puron MBR was selected after a pilot operation demon revealed its
better performance compared with competing products said Koch.
