Discover how ZeeWeed™ MBR with memDENSE™ technology enhances wastewater treatment by integrating biomass densification with ZeeWeed Membrane Bioreactor systems to optimize both membrane and biological performance. This innovative approach works through an effective separation process. memDENSE employs a hydrocyclone to separate activated sludge into dense and light fractions. The dense, high-performing fraction is returned to the biological process, while the light fraction—containing the poorest-quality sludge—is discharged to solids treatment. This selective retention keeps only the sludge that improves both membrane and biological performance. The benefits are proven in practice. We'll share compelling real-world results from 2 years of successful operation at the City of Detroit Lakes WWTP, demonstrating enhanced sludge filterability, increased membrane permeability, and improved biological phosphorus removal.
